The Commerce Public Library has announced that another client, Sawyer Check, has completed the 1,000-pound B4 Kindergarten program. Parents and grandparents interested in participating in this program are encouraged to inquire at reception.
Children’s Librarian Catherine Harris said, “It will be interesting to see how many books Sawyer and his family can finish before he actually starts kindergarten! “
She adds, “The program is straightforward and can be managed through Beanstack or paper logs. Children will receive a prize after reaching each 100 pound level and will receive a special binder, book and certificate when they reach 1000. â€
