1000 Books Before Kindergarten

Hedrick Public Library has started 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten! It is a free, self-paced program that encourages parents and guardians to reach a goal of reading 1,000 books to their children before they enter kindergarten. Rereading the same books counts towards the goal as well!

Every 100 books you and your children read together, you can come into the library and get a prize, which can include fun stickers, bookmarks, fidgets, or a free children’s book! If you’re interested, you can come in and grab a reading log sheet!

Library Director

Meet Belicia Mejia, our library director.

 

Belicia Mejia is the director at the Library. She resides in Ottumwa and mainly enjoys reading realistic fiction and diving deep into subjects within the fields of psychology and sociology. She occasionally engages in content that explores fields such as paleontology and natural science. When not reading, Belicia is playing video games such as Stardew Valley or Deltarune. She may also be indulging in some fun media analysis of her favorite tv shows. She is looking forward to helping you with all of your book and DVD needs.
