Our library has a program to read 1,000 books before Kindergarten (age 5 or so), and the kids get prizes along the way. It's easier than you might expect - the books are all short picture books at that age, so it's easy to just sit and read 5 at a time. Also if you read the same book 40 times, then it counts 40 times - so it's not 1,000 unique books (although we probably have read 1,000 unique books by now too). We also read 2 or 3 books every night before bedtime, so that adds up quickly. Our library doesn't have any checkout limit, so we just get 30 at a time and go back once every week or two.
