1,000 books sounds like a lot of books, but if all you do is read your child one book every night at bedtime, you will have read 1,000 books before your child turns 3! Register here.

Battle of the Books is a school-library partnership where local schools put together teams of enthusiastic readers and Niles-Maine librarians pick the books. Teams meet to battle over book quiz questions and a winner is declared after weeks of meeting. Learn more here.

Reading Challenge is a reading competition for 6th-8th graders.  At least one team member must attend school in the Library District. Learn more here.
