Wonderbooks

The Danbury Library is now offering Wonderbooks! Every Wonderbook is a read-along with an audiobook player inside the cover.

Read alongs make it possible for kids to enjoy books and improve their reading skills, regardless of current reading level. By listening and reading along, even reluctant readers can improve reading speed, develop their vocabulary, improve comprehension, and even get involved in classroom discussions about the text.

Head up to the Junior Floor of the library and ask a librarian about checking out a Wonderbook today!

1000 Books Before Kindergarten

Take a pledge to read 1000 Books Before Kindergarten to your baby, toddler or preschooler.
Log the books you have read to your child (you can even start before they are born) and we will give them stickers as they reach 100 books, 200 books, on up to 1000. When you reach 1000, we will put their picture on our Wall of Fame! We will have periodic celebrations and award ceremonies. You can download an app that has the ability to track multiple readers if you are reading to more than one child (or if you simply want to track your own reading). Best of all, the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten iPhone App is free.
