Have a child that needs a little incentive to pick up their books and read. Well, the In-N-Out Reading Program might be the tasty solution you were looking for. Who knows, maybe you'll even find out the secret ingredient in their animal sauce.
Beginning Saturday, October 9, 2010, children ages 4-12 are invited to sign up at the Sierra Madre Public Library for the In-N-Out Food For Thought Reading Program. To receive the coupon incentives, each child must read five books at his or her reading level and note the titles on a reading log. After five books are read, a parent or guardian will sign the log and the child will receive a Food for Thought Achievement Award with a coupon for a free hamburger, cheeseburger, or a meatless grilled-cheese sandwich. Children too young to read are eligible if an adult reads with them. Up to three certificates may be earned during the program, while supplies last. The program ends on November 20, 2010. Alternative prizes are also available upon request.
For more information, please call Meegan Tosh, Youth Services Librarian at (626) 355-7186. The Sierra Madre Public Library, located at 440 West Sierra Madre Boulevard in Sierra Madre, is open Monday through Wednesday from Noon to 9 p.m., Thursday and Friday from Noon to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. www.sierramadre.lib.ca.us.
