This free program encourages kids to maintain their reading skills over the summer by reading books and earning prizes. Kids can sign up on the bookmobile, or at any of the Cape Breton Library's 13 branches. Every child who completes eight library books by August 16 will receive a prize, donated by local merchants, and will qualify for two Provincial draws (for a bag of books or a Canadian Tire gift certificate), and a regional draw (for a bicycle).
