Bruins Read!

When You Read, You Score!

The Bruins are pleased to announce that they will be continuing their summer reading program, "When You Read, You Score!" in conjunction with the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners. Last summer over 90,000 children throughout the state participated in the program.

The theme for this year's program is "Go Green," with reading lists and materials focused on the environment.

Throughout the summer, the Bruins will be hosting a variety of visits at local libraries throughout Massachusetts.

A special Bruins reading list will let kids and teens know what books the players are reading themselves, with their families, or remember from their own childhood. Each child who completes the program will receive a special Boston Bruins bookmark.
