A Year of Reading!
Join our year long reading challenge! It’s simple, fun, and available for the WHOLE FAMILY.
1. Grab your log each month (paper copies are available at the library)
2. For every thirty minutes you read, color in a star (or duck when youg get to it!).
3. Reaching a duck means you’ve earned a Pocket Pal! You can claim these through the month by bringing in your log, or collect them all at once at the end of the month.
4. Return your completed log to the library (and collect any pocket pals).
For every:
~270 Minutes: A random Pocket Pal from our capsule machine (May vary by calendar month)
550 Minutes: You earn a letter/color in ROY G BIV.
3000 Minutes (or once per quarter): a FREE BOOK!
6600 Minutes: You’ll have earned all of ROY G BIV! These will become BEADS (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet) you can use to make a bookmark or bracelet. We will have 2 Make events. One in August and one in December.
1000 Books Before Kindergarten
The Cadott Community Library has an early literacy program for families with children who have not yet entered kindergarten (ages 1-5). The goal of the program is for parents to read 1,000 books to their child before they enter school. It’s never too early to start reading to your child!
Official Paper Trackers are available at the library. We also welcome other trackers; whatever works best for your family.
1,000 books may sound like a lot, but you’ll be amazed by how fast they add up. Now matter how far you get, your child will learn and grow as they read with you
Welcome Baby and Parents!
If you are the parent of a newborn (or know someone who is) please come down to the library for a visit! We would love to show you some amazing resources for your growing family as well as offer you a “Welcome!” goodie bag for you to take home. The bag includes information about the library, a baby blanket, a board book to keep and more!
We hope to see you soon!
