This summer, Barnes & Noble wants kids to go on an adventure without ever leaving their backyard or bedroom. All they need is a good book and a vivid imagination!
First- through sixth-graders are eligible to receive a free book during the annual Barnes & Noble Summer Reading Program . But they must earn it! Your child must read eight books and fill out a Barnes & Noble Summer Reading Journal.
You can find the Summer Reading Journal in English here .
You can find the Summer Reading Journal in Spanish here .
Once they’re done, they may turn in their journals at a Barnes & Noble store and receive a coupon for their free book, while supplies last. The coupon is redeemable from July 1 through Aug. 31, 2023. Sounds easy enough – and fun! For the program details, click here
