How the
Reading
Club Works:
This summer Lilly Library is teaming up with Heifer
International and giving
YOU...the
kids at Lilly Library... the chance to turn their summer reading
into money to help others round the world!
Here’s how:
for every minute you read, you will earn $.01 toward the purchase
of a heifer, sheep, chicken, bee hive or other farm animal. 100
minutes of reading will earn $10! Your goal? To raise $1,000 to
help families around the world earn money that will help them live
better lives!! We are starting our “read to feed” project with
$1,000 grant from the Xerix Foundation; you can help make this
dream come true!!!
Also, for each fifty cents of reading, you will
earn 1 raffle ticket towards weekly raffle prizes!! If you read 50
minutes, you earn 1 ticket — 110 minutes, 2 tickets, and on and on
and on. The more you read, the more chances you have to win great
prizes!!
