Is 1,000 books a magic number? No, not really. One thousand books is a
manageable goal, set after studying research that suggests amazing benefits
for those who read for just 20 minutes a day. Broken down, the program
can be done by reading 3 books a day for a year - or stretched out over two
years. It’s challenging, but achievable. Children will celebrate milestones,
including a congratulatory shout-out in the library’s newsletter, as they
progress through the program. Now you will also earn a voucher to the
Life and Family Services B.A.B.E. Store for every 100 books you and your
child read together.
It’s easy for preschoolers and their parents to participate. Just stop in
the library, sign up and check out one of the 100 bags, each including 10
books. Together, read the books inside and complete a fun activity, and repeat until
you’ve read 1,000 books! New children signing up to participate will get to choose a small welcome
gift.
The Kendallville Public Library thanks the Lemmon-Rupert Fund and the Noble County Community Foundation for
making this program possible.

Venom: Homecoming, Volume 1
By Mike Costa, Gerardo Sandoval, and Dono Sanchez Almara
Venom is back and deadlier than ever. The symbiote everyone knows and adores is back in New York City and
this time his host is a former Army Ranger named Lee Price. Venom stumbled upon his current host during a
mob exchange and is having a hard time convincing Lee that he wants to be a hero now after spending time
with good guy Flash Thompson.
Venom’s change of heart is uncharacteristic of the deadly symbiote and Lee begins to realize that the monster inside might actually
be him. Readers, if you are unfamiliar with the Venom mythos this is a good place to start before the upcoming Marvel movie
releases in October of this year.
Readers of marvel comics will enjoy this story.
