Meade County Public Library creates and promotes multiple reading challenges and incentives throughout the year. We use paper logging or the option to track using Beanstack, where you can create a free account to track and log your reading.
1,000 Books Before Kindergarten
For children from birth to the start of Kindergarten, this program challenges children and their caregivers to read 1,000 books. Kids earn prizes along the way. Books can be tracked using paper logs or online using Beanstack.
