HARTINGTON — Jordan Kathol, son of Jamie and Lauren Kathol, received a medal, a certificate, and his final prize and a free book from the Hartington Public Library for completing “1000 Books Before Kindergarten.”
Jordan will be entering Pre-school the fall of 2026.
Jordan and his pet, Dino the dinosaur, love to visit the library to get fresh books. His favorite books are about puppies. He likes playing with the magnet tiles and the floor puzzles.
This program was launched to get children ready for school, and to encourage more parent/child library visits. Books are logged and prizes are awarded along the way. One of the best ways to encourage pre-reading skills is to spend time sharing books each and every day! Reading provides a solid foundation, a key to school and learning success.
