Here’s a summer program for kids grades 1-6 from Barnes & Noble. Through their “Imagination’s Destination” Summer Reading program kids can earn free books. The way it works is kids download the Reading Journal, read 8 books & then list them on the downloaded journal. Once the reading journal is complete, turn it in by September 6, 2011 & choose a free book from Barnes & Noble’s free book list.

Another bookstore that’s having a summer reading program is the down but not out Borders. Their program is called “Summer Reading Double-Dog Dare”. For this one kids 12 & under read 10 books, complete the Borders reading journal, that they download, then turn it in by September 5th, 2011 at any Borders, Borders Express or Waldenbooks store to choose a free book from the free book list.
