We are back in the building and so excited to see everyone. Our new space is amazing! Perfect for meeting friends. We have lots of seating space. We also have new learning centers for the kids like a train table, kitchen, mini mart, dress-up, puppets, AWE computers, pirate boat and toys for babies. Plus alll our books are all together again.

Just off the children's room is the children's programming area. Join us for storytimes, legos, STEAM and art clubs.

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten

The Monticello-Union Township Public Library is pleased to present 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten, an early literacy reading book club at the library. This program encourages parents/adults to read to children from birth to age 5. Studies have shown that if you read 1,000 books to a child before school, it will mentally prepare them for school. FUN FACT! You don't have to read 1,000 different books in fact the studies show that it is the interaction between you, them and the books that makes the difference. So count that favorite bedtime book with a ditto!

For every 100 books read, kids will recieve a small prize and a keychain charm. If interested, please stop by the children's department to get a reading log or use the Beanstack app to join. Then check out some books and start working your way to 1,000!
