1000 Books Before Kindergarten (1KBBK) is an early literacy initiative that encourages families to read to their young children and to use the resources of their public libraries. The project is based on the national 1000 Books Before Kindergarten initiative. NH 1000 Books Before Kindergarten is sponsored by CLNH and a other community sponsors interested in children's literacy, health, and development.

If your library would like to launch NH 1000 Books Before Kindergarten in your community, you may use any of the resources listed here and at the links provided. Many of the resources may be customized to include the name of your public library, and some can be edited to add or delete relevant information. If you customize or edit a resource, please include the NH 1000 Books Before Kindergarten logo on all of the revised resources. If you create your own posters or ads, please add the NH 1000 Books Before Kindergarten logo as well as the logos of our sponsors.  All resources, including the canvas bags, are intended to be given to library patrons without charge.
