Relaunched Early Literacy Program Starts with Milestone Meetings at Branches
Reading to your child is one of the most potent ways to boost brainpower. That’s why Livingston Parish Library is excited to present the relaunch of its 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program for babies through age 5. This simple, fun, and free early literacy program aims to start children on the path to learning success and to help build important language skills that are vital for academic achievement.

Upcoming Milestone Meetings
Throughout your child’s participation in the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program, the Library will host Milestone Meetings to mark important progressions towards the 1,000-book reading goal. During the meeting, your child will enjoy learning a new early literacy concept through puppetry, stories, and songs. These events will also be used for you and your child to collect program prizes earned along the 1,000 books journey and capture memories of precious milestones using the Library’s photo booth and props. Here are the upcoming Milestone Meetings for the month of January:

· Watson: Wednesday, January 5 at 10:30 a.m.

· Albany-Springfield: Wednesday, January 12 at 10:30 a.m.

· Main Branch in Livingston: Wednesday, January 19 at 10:30 a.m.

· South: Wednesday, January 26 at 10:30 a.m.

· Denham Springs-Walker: Monday, January 31 at 10:30 a.m.
