1,000 in one

Kamdyn Farris posing with his certificate as a new finisher of the Pend Oreille County Library District’s 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program. A 3-and-a-half-year-old from the Ione Library, Farris signed up for the program one year ago, meaning he and his family read 1,000 books in one year. Farris is the eighth finisher in Ione and the 20th in the county. To sign up your baby, toddler or preschooler for the program, visit any Pend Oreille County library to do so and receive a welcome bag.
