Guest Post: Free Book Deals for the Summer!

Today's Guest Post comes to us from Jenna Kahly, youth librarian at the Moorhead Library. She has plenty of ideas to share for getting your hands on more books for the kiddos this summer!  

Looking for some free books for your kids this Summer?  Look no further than your library.  Not only can you check out books, CDs, DVDs, and audio books for free, but all of the Libraries in the area have a Summer Reading Program which offers free, fun, family-friendly events all summer long!

Local Library Reading Programs

Here are some links to the local library pages with info about their Reading Programs:

• Moorhead Library Reading Program
• Fargo Public Library Reading Program
• West Fargo Public Library Reading Program

Both the Moorhead Library and Fargo Libraries are offering a free book as a prize for completing a reading log with your child!  To complete the Moorhead library’s requirements, log 15 books or hours of reading and to complete the Fargo Library's requirements, log 30 hours to get your free book.

Want to double dip? The three library systems have an agreement where you can use all of the libraries as long as you have a library card from the system you live in.

Barnes and Noble Summer Reading Journal

Pick up a Barnes & Noble Reading Journal (available to download here, or pick one up at Barnes and Noble or the Moorhead Library) to read 8 books to get another free book when you turn the journal in at your local Barnes and Noble!

More incentives to Get Kids Reading!

The Red River Valley Fair has a program called "Read & Win" for 6-11 year olds.  After completing 10 books each child gets a ribbon, gate entry to the fair and free popcorn!  The deadline for this program is 6/24, so hurry to complete and send in your form!

{FM Cheapskate here...  Now, Jenna is an FM Cheapskate reader and deal seeker herself, so she's put together a "Deal Idea" for you just like I do in the grocery lists!}

Deal Idea for the Summer:
Read 15 books or more totaling 30 hours of reading time
Fill out the Moorhead and Fargo library Reading logs and turn them in to get two free books for each child!
While at the Moorhead Library, pick up the forms for the RRV Fair and Barnes & Noble Programs. Turn those in and get another free book and gate admission and treats at the Fair this Summer!
Final tally: 3 FREE Books per child, plus FREE gate admission and treats at the fair this summer!

For the Younger Kiddos

If you have a child under 5, make sure you are signed up for the Imagination Library which sends an age appropriate book each month to your child until their 5th birthday.  Forms available at your library or online here!

Thanks so much for all the great ideas, Jenna!  We have always particpated in the Imagination Library and I would encourage anyone to sign up.  I am excited to get started on some of the summer reading programs, too!  Thanks again Jenna!  Say hi to her at many of the youth events at the Moorhead Library!

Plum District: $40 to Spend at Discovery Toys for $20!

Today's Plum District deal is an exciting one!  Through 5/20 or while supplies last, get $40 to spend at Discovery Toys for $20!

 

I love this deal because even though I've never purchased anything new from Discovery Toys, I've purchased many used Discovery Toys at garage sales and my daughter now plays with the Discovery Toys I had a a child.  These toys not only have learning value, but they definitely hold up well!

As I browsed through the catalog, $40 will cover the cost of a larger toy or set, or will buy you 2 or more smaller toys.  There are also several preschool learning sets that look really useful to me!

New to Plum District?  Plum District is a daily deal site that offers deep discounts for a short amount of time.  After you purchase the deal, you'll receive a voucher or code by email to use on the featured site.  Check out today's Plum District deal to see if it's a great deal for you!

Kohl's: $10 Gift Card for Expired Car Seats

Safe Kids FM, Kohl's Cares, Sanford Children's and the Fargo Police Department have teamed up to get unsafe, used and expired car seats out of circulation.  It's a great deal for you if you've got an expired car seat sitting in your basement or garage, or if your seat has been in any kind of accident.  Kohl's will provide a $10 Kohl's Gift card for each carseat turned in!

Bring your old, used and expired car seats and bike helmets to the Kohl's parking lot Friday April 29 from 3-7 PM or again on Saturday April 30 from 10-2!

Did you know that car seats expire?  Car seats are considered unsafe 6 years after the date of manufacture.  (You can usually find this date printed on the instruction label on the back of the car seat.)  I would encourage you to please please check your car seats!  (Don't forget the one in grandma's car, baby sitters car, etc...)  Also, car seats are not designed to be used after any kind of crash.  Is your child in the right type of car seat?  Check out local car seat safety recommendations here.

Bike helmets expire after 3 years, and old bike helmets will be collected at the event as well.  Bring your child to be sized for a new helmet for a $10 donation to Safe Kids.
