Summer Reading Program Bike Rally
In partnership with Montgomery Cyclery and with the Hamilton County libraries, EWI is providing bikes for the 4th annual summer reading program that will run June 1-July 31, 2008. To encourage the children to read books throughout the summer a contest is held for the kids to earn a chance to win a bike. Ernst & Young are donating the water bottles to go with each bike.
