1001 Books Challenge - Campbelltown library


Price FREE Get tickets

Event description

Pick up a 1001 Books challenge passport from the Campbelltown Library once you've joined the program! 

This program is for children aged 0-3 years.

Read to your baby or young child aged 0-3 years and fill in the passport with book titles.

Collect a sticker or small prize for each 100 books you have read. 


Keep reading until you've completed it- you don't need to stop once your child turns three- once your booklet is complete collect your book prize! 

FAQ:

Can I read the same book more than once to my child?

Yes, you can read the same books as many times as your child requests it to be read to them.

Do I need to write the titles of the books in the squares in the passport?

You can write the title of the book if you would like to keep a record of the books you read to your child, otherwise you can colour in the square or use a tick or cross to mark the square.

Can I use one passport for all my children as I usually read to them all at the same time?

We would prefer you to have one passport for each child to save any confusion. Each child will then receive a sticker/small prize for each milestone they reach.

What is the final prize for completing the program?

Every child will receive a picture book prize and a certificate on completion of the program.

Does my child need to be a member of the library?

No   but we still encourage you to as we think it is a great start in life for children to be read to by their parents or caregivers; it is also very exciting for children to have their own library card. It is free and doesn’t take long to organise.

What happens when my child is read to by others at child care or when visiting grandparents, for example?

It is up to you. It would be great to be able to record these reading sessions as well. Perhaps speak to the other people who care for your child (children) and ask them if they are willing to support you by recording the books they read.

What happens to the passport when we finish the challenge?

You can keep the passport as a record of the time you spent reading together- their favourite books can be remembered and it makes a lovely momento of their childhood.

What happened to the 1001 books before school?- Yes we have rebranded this program to celebrate and support early literacy for under 3 year olds.
