The Bunker Hill Public Library would like to request a donation from your place of business to use as incentive prizes for students who complete our Summer Reading Program. Our program is spans over seven weeks starting on June 8th, in which students are encouraged to read as many books as possible with various prizes for incentives. Students must read a total of 180 minutes to complete the challenges minimum and receive a small prize, but are encouraged to read 360 or more minutes to receive an additional prize pack and additional tickets for our Grand Prize Drawings. Last year, we had a total of 120 students participate in the Summer Reading Program who read OVER 60,000 minutes within 7 weeks! For 2023, we are expanding our advertising and are expecting a total of 130 students to participate in the Summer Reading Program and reading over 70,000 minutes.

            We are requesting a prize consisting of anything that would entice students to read as many books as possible. That could be something like free admission/tickets, promotional items, a coupon to your place of business or even a monetary donation to help fund the cost of other prizes, activities, events, and presenters that supplement our Summer Reading Program.

            If you have any questions regarding our program or donation requests, please contact the Director, Kelsey Lasswell, at (618) 585-4736 or via email at library@bunkerhilllibrary.org.

            We greatly appreciate any donation that you are able to give. Just know that it will be going to a great cause and used well.
