Luke S., age 4, has completed the Crawfordsville District Public Library program "1,000 Books Before Kindergarten" for the fifth time. Luke, along with his parents Bret and Jean, have read 5,000 books. His favorite book is the Magic Tree House series (including Research Guides and Fact Trackers) by Mary Pope Osborne. Mom said, "Thank you to the CDPL and staff for their support and encouragement as Luke participated in the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program. As a parent, it is so inspiring to see your child's love for reading develop and grow. The quality time spent together to achieve this is also so rewarding. Luke's passion to read continues to strengthen especially when he realized he can now read. We will continue to support him as his interest in chapter books and nonfiction books begins. An endless journey awaits him."
