Keep Your Kid Busy This Summer in Bolton

In our Summer Reading Series for 2019, we will be featuring the summer reading programs of public libraries in different towns from all over Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. Let’s take a look at the Bolton Public Library’s Summer Reading Program, A Universe of Stories.

All of Bolton Public Library’s Summer Reading Programs will begin on Tuesday, June 18th, 2019. There are programs available for kids, teens, and adults. Kids can register online to be eligible for weekly drawings for great prizes, as well as grand prize drawings. It’s as simple as reading books to earn free raffle tickets! Even better, there will be fun-packed events all summer long. For more information on the kids program, please click here.

Teens can earn scratch tickets in exchange for reading, as well as win instant prizes. There is no registration required to participate in the Bolton Library’s fun programs for teens all summer long. There will also be an end-of-summer drawing for themed baskets and grand prizes! For more information on the teens program, please click here.
