Calvert Library’s 500 by Five initiative inspires Calvert’s children to read 500 books by 5 years old.

Track your child’s progress online , on the Beanstack app or on the 500 by Five paper log.

Reading with young children on a daily basis is a lifetime gift for everyone that:

  • Builds a stronger relationship with your child
  • Increases basic speech and communication skills
  • Improves logical thinking
  • Increases vocabulary
  • Enhances concentration and discipline
  • Helps ease transitions to major milestones or other potentially stressful experiences
  • Promotes school readiness
