Final costs will depend upon number of participants; the first 25 young readers to sign up on Day 1 will be provided with free books, the rest will be expected to buy their own reading materials. Also, the movie screening is a possibility but not a set event. An optional donation at the end of Weeks 4 & 8 will also help decrease costs.
