I remember getting gold stars for reading books. But bikes? Now talk about an incentive.
From Thursday, April, 1 to June 3, The Seattle Public Library is hosting the “Bikes for Books” reading program, which offers children in grades one through three the chance to enter a drawing for a bike. For every three books they read, they may enter their name once for the drawing, accompanied with a short oral book report to a librarian.
There will be a celebration and prize drawing at 4 p.m. Saturday, June 5, at the Fremont Library, 731 N. 35th St. Winners must be present to collect their prizes. A boy and girl each will win a bike, a helmet and a lock.
“Bikes for Books” is sponsored by the Masonic Doric Lodge No. 92 in Fremont. For more information, call the Fremont Library at 684-4084.
