summer reading programs

are your kids doing any summer reading programs? mine are. the are doing both the library program and the half price books one. at their age they just have to listen to books and we record the time.
after 300 minutes of listening each month your kid receives a $5 gift card at half price books. we used one of our gift cards tonight and got 2 berenstain bears books and 2 corduroy books. yeah.

for the library program they have both already received a free swimming pass, coupon to putt-putt and other various things.
i love that we can get fun things and encourage our kids to "read". i loved the summer reading program when i was a kid and im glad that my kids can enjoy it now too.
and dont forget - adults can enter to win prizes in the library's adult summer reading program.
