Reading Reaps Rewards

There are prizes galore for kids who spend some time this summer at The Saugus Public Library

There are winners every day this summer at the Saugus Public Library, said Amy Melton, head of Children’s Services at the library. Delving into books expands young, inquisitive minds. But the chance to win a wide range of rewards adds fun to the learning experience.

There are about 350 kids participating in the library’s summer reading program, according to Melton. “We are so proud of them! They are having a great time this summer, and they’re making time for reading,” Melton said.

“We encourage parents to keep reading to their kids, let them read to you, and make it a fun part of every day. We have all kinds of great stories, and informational texts to keep them engaged.

“Summer reading is hitting the home stretch! The program ends Friday, August 23rd, so come on down to the library and collect your prizes!”

The many prizes being offered include: tickets to Canobie Lake, books donated by the New Friends of Saugus Library, watercolors, vouchers for ice cream at Soc’s, Banana Splitz, Paradise Mini Golf and Saugus McDonald’s. We have many prizes to give away, she said.
