Reading aloud to your child is one of the best ways to develop their literacy skills. Trenton Veterans Memorial Library is proud to participate in 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten. This nationwide initiative encourages reading to newborns, toddlers, and preschoolers to foster a love of books and prepare them for Kindergarten. 1,000 books may seem like a lot, but it's not as difficult as you think! Reading one book each day for a year gets you 365 books!
