Hall County Library System

Spark your child’s love for reading with 1000 Books Before Kindergarten reading programs at Georgia libraries! You can create a strong foundation for literacy and help them be prepared for kindergarten.

Sequoyah Regional Library System recently held a 1000 Books Before Kindergarten graduation and celebration ceremony.

According to the library, in past years, the graduation was held in the community room of the R.T. Jones Memorial Library. With the program's success and growth, the 2026 graduation was held at the Ball Ground Elementary School STEM Academy cafeteria to accommodate more graduates and their families.

"We really appreciate everything the library does to encourage reading for kids," said one family member in attendance. "It's really special to see."
