Barnes & Noble
Kids in 1st-6th grade can earn free books over the summer by reading a designated number of books and keeping a reading journal. Once complete, kids will choose a free book from the list on the reading journal and collect their free book from a nearby store. This program is expected to begin in early June (watch their website for the 2025 Reading Journal) and book redemption is in July and August.
