Once you've completed a row, return the board to the Parma Library to pick up a small prize AND a ticket to enter one of the children's grand prize raffles! Keep going and see if you can complete every task on the game board!

Participation is a fun and easy way for kids to earn free books. They simply read a designated number of books – library books, books borrowed from friends or books bought at Barnes & Noble – write about their favorite part in our Reading Journal, and bring a completed Reading Journal to a Barnes & Noble bookstore. Children then choose their free book from the books listed on the Reading Journal and collect their free book from a store near them during July and August. Reading journal can be found at your local Barnes & Noble
