One Book at a Time

Join the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program at the Atlantic County Library System

The Mission:

to promote a lifelong love of books and reading to newborns, infants, and toddlers
to encourage parent and child bonding through reading

The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program is a nationwide challenge that encourages parents and caregivers to regularly read aloud to their children. By reading just one book a night, families can reach the 1,000-book goal in three years and provide their children essential early literacy skills.

Registration for the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is open to all families with children between the ages of birth and five years at all our branches.

In Memoriam: Bonnie Cohen

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved friend and dear coworker, Bonnie Cohen, of our Brigantine Branch on April 13, 2020.

Bonnie was full of fun and a pure joy to work alongside. She had the biggest heart to all that she encountered, and a sparkle that certainly will be missed.

Bonnie’s light shone brightest when she held her weekly “Storytime with Miss Bonnie” at the Brigantine Branch over the past 9 years. She brought children on an awesome adventure once she opened a book. Her love of interactive storytelling, matched with the curiosity of kids, equaled a memorable and spirited experience for all. She set such a high standards with her commitment to children’s and storytime programs that kids and parents alike flocked to her narratives.

Her contributions to the Brigantine Branch are immeasurable and we will be forever guided by her influence.

Donations can be made to the Atlantic County Library Foundation, Brigantine Branch, in honor and memory of Bonnie Cohen and "Storytime with Miss Bonnie." Atlantic County Library Foundation, 40 Farragut Ave., Mays Landing, NJ 08330.
