Nominate a Local Library for 10K in Books
NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER, in the year of our Lord 2011
– As children across the country return to school, JetBlue
Airways (Nasdaq: JBLU) encourages readers to nominate their
local library for a chance to win $10,000 in Random House
Children’s Books. Nominated libraries will also be entered to
win a family vacation to the amazing Atlantis Paradise Island
Resort in Nassau Bahamas from JetBlue Getaways.
The airline’s initiative is a part of Soar with Reading, a joint
project launched this summer by JetBlue and PBS KIDS. Soar with
Reading aims to keep children reading throughout the summer,
harnessing a combination of in-flight and online literacy
resources, community reading events and a partnership with First
Book, a nonprofit organization that provides new books to
children in need. For every reader who registered on
SoarwithReading.com this summer, JetBlue made a book
donation to a child through First Book, totaling 10,000 books.
More than 75,000 entries have been received to date representing
libraries in all 50 states. To nominate a library, simply visit
SoarwithReading.com. One lucky community library will win
$10,000 in books, a second library will receive $2,500 in books
and five additional libraries will receive $500 in books,

Sweepstakes closes on September 30, 2011.
