1,000 Books Before Kindergarten

Meet Super Reader: Liandromeda

The library recently honored one of our super readers for accomplishing a massive milestone of reading 3,566 books before Kindergarten! Liandromeda reads every day and enjoys going to the library to pick books. She wants to share her love of reading with other kids and wants them to love Pete the Cat as much as she does.

Liandromeda’s parents, Corinne and Dan, attribute the accomplishment to making reading a part of their lives by having books easily accessible all over their home. Learn more and register for the program today.
