1000 Books Before Kindergarten Graduation Party at the St Francis Public Library

This celebration recognizes children who've completed the "1000 Books Before Kindergarten" program—a popular library initiative encouraging early literacy by having families read together regularly. Families gather to honor their child's reading milestone with festivities, certificates, and often light refreshments. It's a low-key, feel-good community event where kids see that reading is valued and get to celebrate alongside other families on the same literacy journey.
