Free Book from Borders

If you have children age 12 and younger, don't miss the Borders summer reading program.

My little readers, who've already finished at least 25 books each, had no problem reading the 10 books required.

On Sunday we visited our local Borders Express at the mall to turn in their tickets, which I had printed online.

The girl working at Borders was very helpful, showing us where the books were that the kids could choose from. Then at checkout, all I had to do was hand the books and completed forms to the woman at the register. She scanned each book and each coupon, and they ring up as 100% discount with coupon.

Their choices were "Hoot" by Carl Hiaasen, "The River" by Gary Paulsen and "Flat Stanley" by Jeff Brown.

The books retail for $6.99, $5.99 and $4.99, for a savings of $17.97 for three free books.

The program is simple and worthwhile. Just have your kids read 10 books, fill in the online form, and take the completed form to your local Borders.
