Self-Paced Reading Programs

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten encourages you to read 1,000 books to your child before he or she enters kindergarten. Once you reach 1,000, your child will get to pick out a free book. Stop by the Children’s Desk to register and pick up your child’s information packet.

Family Read Aloud Club

Children benefit from hearing books read aloud even after they can read on their own. For every six chapter books you read aloud to your child, you’ll get to pick out a free book. Visit the Children’s Desk to log your completed books. Books read aloud must be at least 80 pages and must be checked out from the Olathe Public Library. Families can earn up to four free books per calendar year!
