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. 

Willa Frauhiger is pictured with her parents, April and Colton. Willa chose “The Everything Book” as her final prize.
Oaklyn McCullough is pictured with his parents, Darien and Nick. Oaklyn chose “Five Little Monkeys” for his final prize.

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.
