Prize Donations

Every summer I start the requests for donations to local businesses for summer reading prizes in very early spring, Feburary or March. There are some businesses who year after year donate prizes to the library and others who come and go. I always appriciate the donations I recieve from businesses each year. The prizes are great incentive to the kids who read over the summer and kids who read over the summer are better prepaired to return to (or start) school in the fall. So far this year I have recieved prize donations from the following businesses (in no particular order):

• Hamburg Dairy Queen (free 5oz cones)
• McDonals of Pinckney (free american meal bookmarks)
• Howell Bowl-E-Drome (passes for a free game of bowling)
• Bestmaze (discounted tickets for children admission)
• Friends of the Pinckney Community Public Library (Quidditch prizes & water)
• RollerRama II (free skate passes)
• Potter Park Zoo (free passes)
• Pinckney Wendy's
• Castaway Cafe (free passes to play)
• Howell Mejier (gift cards)

If you own a business and you are interested in donating a prize (or money for a prize) to the youth department for kids who read this summer please contact me at the Pinckney Library. As the saying goes "it takes a village to raise a reader". Or something like that. ~ Sara
