Raising Canes joins San Bernardino County to promote reading

Raising Cane’s has partnered with the San Bernardino County Library to promote reading among children under 17.

The “Raising Readers with Raising Cane’s” program will run from Jan. 1 to Feb. 29 at all San Bernardino County branch locations.

“We are thrilled to partner with Raising Cane’s to promote literacy and a love for reading among our youngest residents,” said Board of Supervisors Chair and Third District Supervisor Dawn Rowe. “In order to achieve our Countywide Vision, we need to ensure our children are meeting their grade level requirements, particularly with reading.”

San Bernardino County residents can participate in the program by visiting Beanstack at sbclib.beanstack.org. To earn an award, participants must check out five books with their library card, read those five books, and track their reading through Beanstack. A voucher for a free kids meal will be issued at any of the 32 San Bernardino County library locations.

Participants may earn up to three vouchers through the end of February. Participants do not need to have their own library card in order to participate but are encouraged to sign up for one.  Receipts must be presented at the service desk during the library’s operating hours, including renewed items. Raising Cane’s will honor the vouchers at any Southern California location. All vouchers are available while supplies last.
