April 13 - April 19: Celebrate Reading During National Library Week

Culver's Sponsors Drawing Event in Partnership with Racine Public Library

In celebration of National Library Week, April 13-19, the Racine Public Library will join the Wisconsin Library Association Foundation and the Culver's restaurant in Racine in the "Join the Circle of Knowledge" drawing campaign for children 11 and under. This is the twelfth straight year local Culver's restaurants in Wisconsin have sponsored this event, which encourages children to read and celebrates their favorite book characters.

Children can enter the drawing event by picking up drawing sheets from the Youth Services Department at the Racine Public Library beginning April 1. Children are encouraged to draw book characters they would like to meet at the library. Every child who completes a drawing will receive a "Be Our Guest" coupon for a free single scoop of frozen custard from Culver's and be entered into a random drawing to win additional prizes from Culver's, including a kickball and mini lantern. Drawings will be displayed at the Racine Public Library through the month of April.

"Books expose children to worlds both real and imaginary," said Culver's representative, Mary Schluter. "In today's video game society, any time we can encourage a child to read and explore their imagination, we want to make that effort. The National Library Week provides all of us with an important reminder of the positive role a story plays in shaping young minds and developing reading and language skills."

First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April.

of growth for Culver's since the first location opened in Sauk City, Wisconsin, on July 18, 1984. Culver's invests deeply in partnerships and programs, including its VIP scholarship program, Culver's Cares™ charitable program and countless other franchise-driven local efforts.
