The University of Colorado at Boulder's Community Relations office and Moe's Broadway Bagel are sponsoring a book drive with free bagels at Boulder-area Moe's stores.
People who bring in new or gently used children's books to either of the Boulder Moe's locations will receive a free bagel with cream cheese. The offer is limited to one bagel per customer per visit.
The drive, which starts on Feb. 18 and continues through Feb. 25, is being hosted in celebration of the National Education Association's Read Across America Day on March 2.
The books will be donated to school literacy programs, Dental Aid, The Children's Hospital and area shelters. Last year's book drive collected more than 700 books. The drive is one of several events planned by CU-Boulder in conjunction with the NEA's Read Across America Day, celebrating reading and Dr. Seuss' birthday.
For more information on the book drive and other local Read Across America events, call Erin Frazier in the CU-Boulder Community Relations Office at (303) 492-8384.
