“Food for Thought” Program Offered at the San Marino Public Library

The San Marino Public Library is once again participating in the In-N-Out “Food for Thought” Reading Program for children ages 4 to 12. To participate, children must come to the San Marino Public Library between Saturday, October 8th and Friday, November 18th. Once registered for they will receive a “Food for Thought” Reading Log.

They must then read five library books, keeping track by the librarian’s validation on the reading log. When the five book goal is completed and a parent has signed the reading log, the child is rewarded with a Certificate of Achievement, good for a free cheeseburger or hamburger at any In-N-Out Burger location. Each participant may read up to fifteen books to earn the maximum three certificates.
