Congratulations to Nathaniel Glynn for successfully completing the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program at Lepper Library!

Nathaniel received a certificate of completion and chose Garbage Trucks at Work by D. R. Addison as his book.  Nathaniel wants to drive a garbage truck when he grows up, he is currently in preschool.

The 1000 Books Before Kindergarten is open to preschool children and helps them get ready for school and reading. Reading to your child is one of the best ways to prepare them for future reading success. If you would like to have your child participate in the program and would like more information about any of the Children’s & Teens’ Reading Programs call or stop by Lepper Library at 330-424-3117.

Tuesdays at 10:00 and 11:00am

Moving and Grooving Tuesdays at 10 am

This Storytime is geared towards babies and toddlers. Come sing some songs, listen to a story, and play.

 Preschool Story Hour Tuesdays at 11 am

We will sing songs, listen to stories, and make crafts. Stay and play after the program.

This program is made possible in part by state tax dollars allocated by the Ohio Legislature to the Ohio Arts Council (OAC). The OAC is a state agency that funds and supports quality arts experiences to strengthen Ohio communities culturally, educationally, and economically. 

This is a great way to read with your preschooler and start your child loving books. We will give you the sheets to keep track of the titles as they are being read. Even if you read the same book more than once it counts. Show us the sheets as they are being completed. There is a measuring chart at the library in the children’s room that tracks your child’s progress. Watch as your child’s name climbs after each sheet of 100 is recorded and they’re progress moves up towards the 1000 books goal. Once completed they will receive a free book of their choice. For more information stop by the library.

This is a great way to keep children interested in books, all books read or read to count.  At each level they get a token and surprises at the end!  Sign up with the Youth Librarian.
