Read any book to your child and for each book you read together (even if you have already read it) record it in your online account on MyLibro App. Reading together is fun and will create life-long memories for the both of you.
You will receive a reward for every 100 books read (you can redeem this at Austin Memorial Library)
Once you have reached 1,000 books, head to the library and your child will receive their final book, a medal, and have his/her picture taken with a special sign, which is then displayed for all to see!
Registering is as easy as 1-2-3!
Stop by the library and sign up with one of our staff to get your starter packet, then start your reading journey with you child!
We have made convenient bags with 10 books in each bag for easier checkout. We have 100 bags available for circulation, or select your own books.
