Free book for kids through Barnes & Noble Summer Reading Program

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!

To keep up with latest news, sign up for the daily Miami on the Cheap newsletter. You may also follow us on Facebook and on Twitter and visit our Facebook group page.

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.

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, 2022. Sounds easy enough – and fun! For the program details, click here
