Early Literacy Programs


Fennville District Library is proud to be a participant in 1000 Books Before Kindergarten! The Allegan County Library Association and the Allegan County United Way have partnered together to bring a FREE and exciting way to encourage reading. You are your child’s first and best teacher. Reading aloud to your child is the best way to help develop important literacy skills and to prepare your for school.

What does reading 1000 books look like? It could be one book a day for three years, ten books a week for two years, or twenty books a week for one year. This is a completely self-paced program, and you can read at your own pace. The only goal is to read out loud to your child 1000 times before they enter kindergarten!
