It’s a fact that children who read over the summer are better prepared for school in the fall. Parents, help your kids
build their reading skills by signing them up for this free programme! Kids, you can earn Book Bucks by reading
books. Trade those Book Bucks for prizes and enter a draw to win a grand prize! Registration for the club begins
