Kids Choose! BookSmart Summer Book Club

Here's how it works:

• Buy your book at BookSmart, read it, then write your recommendation and tell everyone why they should read this book.

• Turn your recommendation in to the front desk and receive a free kids size ice cream cone and a 20% discount on your next book! Your recommendation will be displayed on the shelf next to the book or in a binder with other recommendations to help others find a great book to read.

Turn in 3 recommendations for 3 different books and receive an Advanced Reader's Copy book - free! (an Advanced Reader's Copy is a book that is not released to the public for sale yet)

Book Club starts Saturday June 5th, with free Advanced Copy book selection taking place during a celebration of reading August 14th.

Children entering grades 3 through 12 this Fall may participate.

Support will be available for those who would like help writing their recommendation.

Have fun & happy reading!!
