Millie's Sweet Reads 2023
What is Sweet Reads?
How does it work? It's quite easy! Follow these 4 steps:
-
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.
-
Read 5 books (or have someone read 5 books to you!). Any book or periodical will do.
-
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.

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