For this program, students are asked to briefly book-talk when they finish a book, and they receive points for what they read. With every book talk given, students earn a prize ticket, entitling them to either an item from the prize bucket or a rare coffee shop voucher! At 50, 100, 150, and 200 points, students earn extra incentives to read, such as a trip to the movies or lunch in the library. The more book talks a student gives, the more chances they have to win
