Using the 1000 Books App

Image
As a registered member of 1000 Books Before Kindergarten at Bellevue Public Library, you have two options for noting the progress you and your child(ren) make toward reading 1000 books. You can use the trifold reading sheet you were given at registration or you can download the free 1000 Books Before Kindergarten app. If you use the trifold reading sheet we only ask that you count the number of books read.

This is a self-paced activity, so you and your child will determine how long it takes to reach the 1000 book level.  The staff at Bellevue Public Library looks forward to celebrating a number of milestones with you and your child as you spend time sharing stories, talking together, and discovering the joy of reading. If you have not yet done so, we encourage you to visit the library and register for 1000 Books.  It is free for
