Why Read 1,000 Books?

Reading has been associated as an early indicator of academic success, yet numerous studies estimate that as many as one in five children have difficulties learning to read. During the critical development period of 0-5 years of age, parents and caregivers are the first education providers, and have the opportunity to help their children establish strong early literacy skills and gain the confidence necessary to become strong readers.

Reserve the Meeting Room

Perry Cook Memorial Public Library provides meeting space for library-sponsored or co-sponsored programs. The meeting space may also be used by individuals or non-profit organizations (i.e. educational, cultural, civic, intellectual, or charitable organizations) for the purpose of non-profit activities supporting the Library’s mission, when not in use for library programs.
