SUMMER READING PROGRAM

Start Reading June 22
Reading Ends July 31

Summer Readers Rock!

Congratulations to the kids who participated in the Summer Reading Program.

They earned a quarter for each week that they made their Summer Reading goal, and had the choice of keeping the quarter or donating it to one of four local causes.

Their generosity resulted in $60.00 earned for these local causes-

Bedford Animal Shelter- $30

Friends of the Library $14

Brookline Food Pantry $ 10

Brookline PTO $ 6

We are very proud of our thoughtful and hard working young patrons!
