How to Get Free Books From the Barnes and Noble Summer Reading ProgramVisit Barnes and Noble summer reading program to download and print a reading journal.
Fill out the student information on the first page of the journal. A parent must sign on this page in order for the child to get a free book.
In the reading log, your child will need to record the title and author, along with their favorite part of eight books to get their free book.
Bring the completed and signed reading journal into your local Barnes and Noble book store between May 16, 2017, and September 5, 2017. Present it to an employee and they will let your child choose a book from the free book list.
