Story Time ~ 1,000 Books ~ Summer Reading Program
Story Time
Watch for information about Story Time programs in our branches or on our Facebook page.
In between those times, why not try the Library of Virginia's Dial a Story?
Simply call 1-833-690-0646 to hear a story read in both English and Spanish. Each Wednesday, a new story will be available to listeners around the state. The stories will be a rotation of recent picture books, fairy tales and folk tales, books highlighting equity, diversity and inclusion, and classic picture books and is available 24/7.
1000 Books Before Kindergarten
Why Read 1000 Books Before Kindergarten?
- Because reading now will help your child’s future. Studies have shown that reading aloud to children helps build language skills and vocabulary, and it improves attention spans and listening skills – important tools your child will need.
- Because in as little as 15 minutes a day – that’s three, five-minute stories – families can build the skills their children need for future success in school and in life.
- Because reading with your young child helps to stimulate brain development and strengthens a parent’s relationship with the child.
How it works:
- Get a reading log at any Nottoway County branch library or download it (below).
- Each time you read a book with your child, color a circle on the reading log.
- Stories read at daycare or preschool, at Story Time, or at Grandma’s house count too!
- When you complete one log, exchange it for a new one and receive a free book.
