5. Any child, age 4 through 12, who visits the Murrieta Public Library may register at the Youth Services Desk to receive a “Cover to Cover” reading log bookmark and earn an “Achievement Award,” which is good for a free cheeseburger or hamburger at any IN-N-OUT Burger location. For each book that a child reads at his or her reading level, library staff will validate the reading log with a special stamp. When the child has five stamps and a parent’s signature, that child will receive a “Food for Thought Achievement Award.” For those kids who cannot read independently, they can list the books parents read to them. The Murrieta Public Library is at Eight Town Square. The program began March 2 and runs through April 13.
