Our location will let kids pick a book from any grade level.  G’s book last year was outside his grade level – they are merely suggested levels.  Your child can pick any book from the free list.

Also – two years ago, after redeeming his free book, they gave him ANOTHER log and told him to read 8 more.  And he did and got a second book!  

Summer Reading Program is for Grades 1st-6th. (The picture above is from last year’s book selection – check the list above to see this year’s selection!)

If your child is participating in a Summer Reading Program at the local library, you can log eight of the books they read there into the Barnes and Noble log!
