Early reading
Kinzley Blatch, pictured, is the first child registered at Lepper Library to complete the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program. The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is a charitable foundation with the objectives of promoting reading to newborns, infants and toddlers; and encouraging parent and child bonding through reading. To enroll a child in the free program, visit the Lepper Library at 303 E. Lincoln Way. Visit www.lepperlibrary.org for information about the library. Kinzley is pictured with the book she received – donated by the Lepper Library – for finishing the program. (Submitted photo)
