Free Coffee* (Some Reading Required)

Does anybody else remember Book It? You'd read some books in elementary school, and after reading enough you'd get a free Personal Pan Pizza from Pizza Hut. It was the best incentive program going, and for an unstoppable reader just meant free pizza once a month or so, making for a pretty sweet deal. Seattle's library system is smart enough to have an equivalent program (sort of) for adults, allowing grown readers to get themselves a free latte from Starbucks. Here are the details:

- Read three books or listen to three books on tape between June 15 and Aug. 31, 2006.
- Write the books, titles and authors, and a sentence or two describing each book, on the entry form. If you have a favorite book, check the box next to it.
- Turn in your entry form at any location of The Seattle Public Library to earn a finisher's prize: a Literary Latte, good for $4 at any Starbucks Store (while supplies last). You will also be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a "Booklover's Basket" of goodies (one at each Library location).
