[Michlib-l] 1,000 Books before Kindergarten

[Mary Beth Reasoner]

Dear Stephanie and all - 
  
 Tecumseh District Library started the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten 
program this spring.
 The easiest way to describe how our program works is for you to look on 
the Children's Page of our website:
 https://www.tecumsehlibrary.org/Pages/Index/30443/childrens-home-page
  
 Remember that every library tweaks the program described at 
https://1000booksbeforekindergarten.org/ to fit their own situation.  I 
know that we did!
  
 When parents pick up their packet, I remind them that this program is not 
a race or a contest!
  
 I will tell you that it is a program full of happiness when the family 
picks up their packet and each time the child comes in for their first Brag 
Tag and then each Brag Tag thereafter! They are so excited! And my 
colleagues at the Circulation Desk and I make a big deal out of each 
visit!
  
 I decided not to give out anything other than the Brag Tags, because 
nothing else is really needed for their feeling of success.  The Brag Tags 
themselves seem to make everyone happy!  (Plus, our library kids get enough 
prizes during the Summer Reading Program!)
  
 If you would like more information about our program, please feel free to 
contact me at mbreasoner at tecumsehlibrary.org
  
 Best wishes,
 Mary Beth

   Dear Librarians,
  
 Is everyone doing 1,000 Books before kindergarten? What kind of prizes did 
you give? How did you contact the families? What worked best for you?
