Fort Scott Public Library offers an early literacy program: 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten! Children from birth through kindergarten are invited to participate. Upon registration via phone or in person, participants receive a reading record. Each complete reading of a story that the child hears counts toward their 1,000 books, and participants receive a sticker, free picture book, and new reading log at each 100-book milestone. Call, message, or visit us for more information on this exciting program.
