We’re proud to partner with the 1000X5 Children’s Book Recycling Project – an early literacy initiative rooted in a simple but powerful belief: if a child hears 1000 books by the age of five, he or she will be far better prepared to thrive in school and beyond.
Â
Listening to stories from infancy builds essential language skills, imagination, and brain development, while strengthening the bond between child and caregiver.
Â
The 1000X5 program helps build a strong foundation for lifelong learning, one story at a time. If you have a child under the age of five, you can receive free books to enjoy together.Â
