Frequently Asked Questions

Do the children read the books themselves?

No, parents read the books to their children. Older siblings and other family members often help with the reading. It’s an enjoyable project for the whole family.

1000 books seems like a lot to read. How long does it take to complete the program?

It depends on how often you read to your child. Typically it takes about three years to complete but our first family finished the books in less than a year.

How do I keep track of how many and which book packs we’ve read?

There is a grid on the registration form with the book pack numbers. Check off the pack numbers as you take them out.

What if we get to the end of the project and we can’t find the number pack that we need to finish?

There are two sets of book packs at the Marlboro Free Library. One is labeled # and the other is labeled *. You may borrow any number pack in either set or you may borrow any pack from the Sarah Hull Hallock Library.
This makes the availability of 300 packs from which to choose. If you interchange libraries you must register at both but this gives you flexibility and the opportunity to visit the different sites.
