The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten (BBK) program is designed to help parents prepare their children for one of life’s big milestones: KINDERGARTEN.

Children ages birth to kindergarten may sign up for this reading program. Visit the library to sign up or sign up on Beanstack. https://balsamlakepubliclibrary.beanstack.org

Beanstack allows library users to take part in reading challenges.  Some challenges are linked to library programs, some have themes of their own, and some are just for the love of reading!  Many challenges offer prizes for users that complete them but some just encourage readers try something new.
