Many libraries in IFLS-land have a terrific 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program, encouraging families to read together as much as possible before school starts.  It’s a fun way to promote this, and a few years ago IFLS joined with several other systems to support an app developed by the Bridges Library System to help families keep track of books and participate in their library’s individual program.

And now, the marvelous Anne Hamland from WVLS has created a quick little video introducing you to the app, the marketing materials developed to support the app, and it is so great!  Take a look at this WVLS Digital Byte!
