The 1000 Books Foundation is operated exclusively for charitable, literary, and educational purposes.

The objectives of this organization are:

• to promote reading to newborns, infants, and toddlers
• to encourage parent and child bonding through reading

Reading logs are either a paper log downloaded from the 1000 Books Foundation or use the Reader Zone App. 

Join the Jefferson County Library District's Readerzone program for 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten by downloading the app and registering with the code a830b. Your child will receive incentive prizes for every 100 books read to them.  Each child who completes the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten receives a school backpack with supplies.
