Ava of Dudley has successfully completed the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program at the Pearle L. Crawford Memorial Library. Ava found that books about Paw Patrol made reading so many books, so much fun. The Pigeon books by Mo Willems are also some of her favorites and make her laugh out loud.

Congratulations, Ava, on this wonderful accomplishment! We are incredibly proud of your dedication to reading and learning.

The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program encourages families to read together every day, helping children develop early literacy skills while strengthening the bond between parent and child. The mission of the 1,000 Books Foundation is to promote reading to newborns, infants, and toddlers, laying the foundation for a lifetime love of books and learning.

The Pearle L. Crawford Memorial Library’s 1,000 BBK program is generously funded by the Friends of the Pearle L. Crawford Memorial Library.

Families with children from birth through age five are encouraged to stop by the library to register for this free early literacy program and begin their own reading adventure.
