      Millie's Sweet Reads 2023

      What is Sweet Reads?

    How does it work? It's quite easy! Follow these 4 steps:

    1. Obtain a physical bookmark at any Millie's location or select libraries across the county OR print a digital copy from the Millie's website.

    2. Read 5 books (or have someone read 5 books to you!). Any book or periodical will do.

    3. Validate the bookmark at your local library (note: the library does not have to be a participating Sweet Reads library). Just ask your favorite librarian to sign the dotted line.

    4. Bring your validated bookmark to one of 6 eligible Millie's locations for a free scoop of your choice.
