Kansas Reads to Preschoolers

Kansas Reads to Preschoolers is an annual event, since 2005, that promotes reading to all Kansas children from birth through age five in the month of November. Through the statewide program, parents, librarians and caregivers are encouraged to read the chosen title during a selected week and month.

A committee of librarians, library consultants and childcare professionals identify picture book titles well-suited to story time and children’s programs. The State Librarian reviews the committee’s three suggested titles then makes the final selection of one book to feature the month of November during Kansas Reads to Preschoolers.
