Barnes & Noble Summer Reading Program {and 6 More Links}

May 23, 2013 By Kalynbrooke Leave a Comment

Have you heard about B&N’s new summer reading program for kids? It’s called Imagination Destination, and each book read counts toward a free book at the end. 

I remember loving my Book-It program when I was in elementary school. But instead of a free book, the prize was usually a free meal at Pizza Hut. Still, I loved collecting those stickers for my Book-It Button!

How the Program Works

1. All you have to do is download this reading journal for each one of your children, and have them record every time they read a book.

2. When they read 8 books, you bring in the completed journal to any B&N store.

3. Your child can now choose a free book off the featured list in the reading journal for free.

Pretty easy! And I, for one, love that B&N is encouraging kids to read over the summer.

I mean, they needed to do something after I called out their non-strategy for brick-and-mortar survival. The CEO must have been trolling my blog. {grin}
