Several children recently completed the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Program at the Wells County Public Library by reading and listening to 1,000 books with the help of family members. 

Finn Bricker (holding his prize book “Baby Pets”) is pictured with his mom, Jessica.
Mateo Orozco is pictured with his parents Hugo Orozco and Karen Resendiz. He chose the book “The Twelve Days of Christmas in Indiana” as his prize book.
Maverick Sander (holding his prize book “There’s Nothing to Do”) is pictured with his parents, Lane and Jennifer, and siblings, Auden, Winston, and Valor.

The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program is sponsored by the United Way of Wells County, the Wells County Foundation, and the Friends of the Library. The program not only helps prepare children for school, but instills the value of reading and life-long learning.
