1KB4K! Read and Grow!

The Gambier Community Library encourages you to read 1,000 books with your child before he or she enters school. One of the best ways to encourage learning is to spend time sharing books every day. Reading together helps develop important pre-reading skills:
  • Print awareness
  • Letter knowledge
  • Vocabulary
  • Narrative skills
Register your child at the circulation desk for your reading log and get started today! For more information or to register your child call 740-427-BOOK.

Storybook Trail on a Paved Path!

Look for the Storybook Trail on the paved path by the library. The beginning of the story starts near the front of the building.  Enjoy a leisurely walk while reading a picture book! Storybook Trail is also handicap accessible.

Our Winter title is Bear is Not Tired by Ciara Gavin. The Storybook title will be changed out quarterly, so be sure to check out future titles.

The Gambier Community Library Storybook trail is made possible with the help of The Knox County Foundation.

“A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.”   ― William Styron
