  Barnes and Noble Summer Reading

Participation is a fun and easy way for kids to earn free books. Simply read a designated number of books – library books, books borrowed from friends or books bought at Barnes & Noble – write about your favorite part in the Reading Journal (English or Español), and bring a completed Reading Journal to a Barnes & Noble bookstore. You can then choose a free book from the books listed on the Reading Journal and collect the free book from a store near you during July and August. 

Half-Price Books Summer Reading Camp

Get ready to hit the road during Summer Reading Camp! BW is taking a few friends (and more than a few books) on a reading road trip. Want to come along? The fun starts June 1, but register today and keep an eye on your inbox for updates.

Nothing Bundt Cakes Books and Bundts Program

This one is pretty straight forward. Please use THIS READING TRACKER to record your child's reading each month. Every time your child reaches 400 minutes for the month (limit one per month), they can take the tracker to Nothing Bundt Cakes to redeem for a free mini Bundtlet cake. Enjoy!

Piada Summer Reading Program

Get a bookmark from your North Allegheny Librarian! Students will then track five books they’ve read on the Piada bookmark. A parent or guardian signs off as they go. Once completed, students bring the bookmark to Piada and receive a FREE kids' meal — on Piada!

Pizza Hut Summer Reading

Use the BOOK IT!® Mobile App to set goals, track progress, and redeem rewards. During the summer months of June, July, and August, any child that meets their parent-set reading goals can earn a free Pizza Hut® single topping Personal Pan Pizza®* from participating locations.

* Limit of 5 Personal Pan Pizza® certificates per family, per month. One certificate may be earned per eligible child, per month, for meeting their reading goal.

Scholastic's Summer Reading Home Base!

SCHOLASTIC’S HOME BASE APP FOR SUMMER READING

From May 9th through September 12th, kids can visit the summer zone in Scholastic Home Base, a completely free digital destination which offers stories, characters, games, and a community of readers. Home Base is moderated for safety 24/7.

Keep a Reading Streak™

Kids will be able to track their summer reading by reading every day and maintaining a Reading Streak™ in Home Base.

The longer a child extends their Reading Streak™, the more digital experiences they earn! Kids can read any book of their choice and download and print a report of their reading progress at any time.
