Annual Read-a-Thon Rules
Dear Parents,
The Lake County Public Library Foundation encourages your child to make reading a part of their life, both in and out of school.
All your child needs to do is seek sponsors, then read as many books as possible within the six weeks of the READ-a-THON. Upon completion of the sixth week, your child should begin collecting pledges to put into their envelope. Please return the envelope with the child’s information on it to your school or local branch library.
Once all the money has been counted, participating schools will receive one-third of the total monies raised by their students.
Encourage your child to read. It is the one gift that will last a lifetime.
Sincerely,
Lake County Public Library Foundation Board
