I learned of this program on Friday when visiting a public library with my kids.
“Reading is Fundamental (RIF) is a federally-funded national program that prepares and motivates children to read by delivering free books and literacy resources to children and families who need them most.” http://www.brooklynpubliclibrary.org/rif/

Any child (ages 0-18) that has a library card is eligible for the program.
How does it work “When you register for RIF, you will receive a free book. Whenever a library is offering a RIF program, stop by the RIF desk with your library card and two library books you are about to borrow or return. After reading and returning six books, you can choose a free gift RIF book.”

Check your local library for your RIF days, in New Utrecht 1743 86th St. at Bay 17th St. Friday is RIF day. Enjoy your reading.
