Read and Earn Free Books: 2024 Barnes & Noble Summer Program Details

Summer vacation is a golden period for kids to relax and enrich themselves. To encourage children to develop good reading habits, Barnes & Noble (B&N), one of the largest bookstore chains in the U.S., hosts an eagerly anticipated free book giveaway event every year. This program not only offers kids the opportunity to obtain their beloved books for free but also ignites their passion for reading.

The B&N Summer Reading Program is targeted at elementary school students from 1st to 6th grade. Participating is simple and fun; kids just need to follow these steps:


  1. Read 8 books of their choice between July 1st and August 31st.

  2. Write down their favorite parts of each book in the B&N-provided Summer Reading Journal.

  3. Bring the completed journal to a B&N store.

  4. Choose a free book from the prize list as a reward.


The prize books cover various genres, including fiction, science, and history, catering to kids with different interests. From "The Area 51 Files" to "Dr. Seuss Graphic Novel," each book is carefully selected to ensure quality and suitability. This not only provides kids with high-quality reading material but also sparks their interest in exploring new fields of knowledge.





In addition to the B&N reading program, parents can consider other fun and educational summer activities to enrich their children's holiday. One such option is the KTSF Kid Reporter Summer Camp. This camp, specifically designed for children, enhances their confidence and communication skills while allowing them to experience the joy of news reporting.

The KTSF Kid Reporter Camp offers a variety of exciting courses, including an introduction to journalism, news writing, celebrity interviews, and news video production. Kids also have the opportunity to visit the KTSF TV station, experiencing makeup, dressing up, and practical operations in the recording studio. Through these activities, children learn how to express themselves clearly and persuasively, improve their Chinese language skills in a fun environment, and gain valuable teamwork experience that fosters their social skills and creativity.


Whether it’s the Barnes & Noble Summer Reading Program or the KTSF Kid Reporter Camp, these summer activities provide kids with educational and entertaining opportunities. They help children spend a fulfilling and meaningful summer while cultivating lifelong skills and interests.


As parents, encouraging kids to participate in these activities not only enriches their summer vacation but also lays a foundation for their future development. Whether it’s fostering a reading habit or enhancing expressive abilities, these experiences become invaluable life assets for children. Let’s work together to create a summer filled with learning, growth, and joy for our kids!
