1000 Books Before Kindergarten Festival

1000 Books Before Kindergarten Festival In-Person

Celebrate reading and learn about the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program. Practice counting with Nutty the Squirrel, enjoy storytimes, crafts, a bookish obstacle course, and more.

Families and caregivers really can share a thousand books with their young child before they enter kindergarten—ask staff how! Find out more about this reading challenge and register anytime at boulderlibrary.org/1000-books.

You'll have the opportunity to chat with the Librarian who purchases the books you check out! Plus, we will be giving exclusive tours of the automated book check-in system, the "Book Drop"! First come, first serve.
