1000 Books Before Kindergarten
More information and links to a sign up form and forms for keeping track of books are on a special 1000 Books Before Kindergarten page of this website.
Prizes are awarded for every 100 book milestone, so even children who will enter Kindergarten this Fall are encouraged to register and participate.
Vroom.org and the downloadable Vroom App are another source of ideas
for quick and easy brain building activities and tips for interacting with babies and toddlers.
Statewide Readers' Choice Programs K-5th grade
|
| ||||||||||||||
These programs are sponsored by the Illinois School Library Media Association (ISLMA). Each year, a list of books is chosen by the statewide committee, and Carthage Public Library purchases and displays the books. Children who read or listen to the required number of books (5 for Monarch, 4 for Bluestem) can vote for their favorite. Voting occurs in February. 4th and 5th grade students can also participate in the Rebeccca Caudill awards list. PDF's are attached above
Many of the titles are available to download as e-books or audios from eread Illinois. If you are using a computer, after logging in, open the navigation menu (the 3 horizontal lines in the top left corner) and select Featured Lists. Unfortunately these lists are not visible from the mobile app.
Physical copies are available at the library! Have us put a hold on a book for you today!
