Transcript: Books and Ice Cream Vlog Narration

Hi there, A.O. here with the Believe in Books Literacy Foundation. Do you like books? Ice cream? How about reading three books for a free ice cream?

Summer is almost here, and we’ve partnered with Ben & Jerry’s in North Conway for a brand-new summer reading program, Books & Ice Cream. A program for kids, Pre-k-6th grade to encourage reading outside of the classroom.

We’ve created unique bookmarks that are your key to a free ice cream at Ben & Jerry’s. But first you will need to read 3 books. The back of the bookmark is a handy log where you can write the titles of the three books you read-or were read to you! Then, your parent or guardian will sign the back, and you’re ready to take the bookmark to Ben & Jerry’s for your free ice cream!

We’re hard at work distributing the bookmarks to schools around the Mount Washington Valley, and our bookmobile will be stocked with bookmarks for when we go to events like the farmers’ market in North Conway. Plus, Ben & Jerry’s has them available at the counter.

Happy summer everyone, and happy reading!
