Any child ages birth to five years can participate.
Traditionally children are enrolled in the program by an adult that lives in the same household, or that spends part of their day with them.
The Woodbury Public Library is encouraging grandparents to participate in the program. Reading to your grandchild, in person or via video chat, is a
rewarding way to nurture an intergenerational relationship.
Participants are given a log to track the books they read. For every 100 books read, a sticker and book is awarded. Once 1,000 books are read, in addition to the sticker and book, the child is given a gift certificate to shop at the Book Cellar.
If you need guidance on how to have a video chat with your grandchild, Reference and Technology Librarian Ron Fairchild is available, by appointment, to guide you through the process. To schedule an appointment or for more information about 1,000 Book Before Kindergarten, please call the library at 203-263-3502.

Join award-winning historian Susan Shepard for an entertaining look at the unusual names of places in Woodbury and the history behind them.
In this virtual event find out why, for example, was Woodbury’s Hazel Plain district once known as “Hell Hollow” and what popular walking area was dubbed “Dirty Slough” in colonial days? Learn where the “Ram Pit” was and what was it used for. The history that interests Susan most is digging out and documenting the forgotten history of everyday people, starting with Woodbury in 1672, and how the area towns got not just their wonderful historical features but the peculiar things that happened along the way to help shape the towns we know today.
If you attended the first one, there will be more information about other strange names about places in the Town. Bring your questions!

Acclaimed Metaphysical Author, Sydney Sherman, author of You Are Not Alone: Our Loved Ones Are Here…You’re Just Not Listening.
“You Are Not Alone” approaches the science of death or dying with a healthy dose of common sense and encourages rational skepticism. The author looks at why and what we believe about the afterlife. Her book draws distinctions between myths and the paranormal and recounts numerous experiences with energies. She offers hints to avoid falling prey to the frauds in the paranormal field. The author educates readers on how they too can continue their relationship with their loved ones. With step- by –step advice, Sherman encourages people to think about the potential this information holds for all of us. Sydney hopes readers will come to the same understanding —they are not gone; they are still very much here with us….we just need to start listening.
Sherman has intrigued audiences with her personal knowledge of energy. The scientific rationality she brings to the discussion of the afterlife has led to being featured in numerous news articles, magazines as well many appearances for TV and radio.

TEENS! Join a monthly book group that celebrates diversity through great literature! Created for readers in grades 8-12, the group will meet monthly via Zoom. The next book in the discussion series is Genesis Begins Again by Alicia D. Williams. Genesis Begins Again is a Newbery and Kirkus Prize honor winner, a William C. Morris Award finalist, and the winner of the Coretta Scott King - John Steptoe Award for New Talent.
There are ninety-six reasons why thirteen-year-old Genesis dislikes herself. She knows the exact number because she keeps a list:
-Because her family is always being put out of their house.
-Because her dad has a gambling problem. And maybe a drinking problem too.
-Because Genesis knows this is all her fault.
-Because she wasn’t born looking like Mama.
-Because she is too black.
Genesis is determined to fix her family, and she’s willing to try anything to do so…even if it means harming herself in the process. But when Genesis starts to find a thing or two she actually likes about herself, she discovers that changing her own attitude is the first step in helping change others.
There are a limited amount of FREE copies of the book; register and recieve yours! A Zoom link will be emailed to you prior to the first meeting.

Traditionally children are enrolled in the program by an adult that lives in the same household, or that spends part of their day with them.
The Woodbury Public Library is encouraging grandparents to participate in the program. Reading to your grandchild, in person or via video chat, is a
rewarding way to nurture an intergenerational relationship.
Participants are given a log to track the books they read. For every 100 books read, a sticker and book is awarded. Once 1,000 books are read, in addition to the sticker and book, the child is given a gift certificate to shop at the Book Cellar.
If you need guidance on how to have a video chat with your grandchild, Reference and Technology Librarian Ron Fairchild is available, by appointment, to guide you through the process. To schedule an appointment or for more information about 1,000 Book Before Kindergarten, please call the library at 203-263-3502.
1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is generously supported by The Friends of the Woodbury Public Library.
