All ages are invited to read all summer long with the Becket Athenaeum. This year’s Summer Reading theme is Read, Renew, Repeat and encourages reading as a restorative method of self-improvement and self-preservation. We’re especially excited to offer Read & Bead for kids ages 4 through 12 and Book Bingo for teens. Visit our website or stop by the library to learn more. Check out our Book & Bake Sale Fundraiser on July 6 and 7 to browse through an array of books, audiobooks, DVDs, baked goods, and more on the library lawn from 10 to 4 (weather-permitting). Help support your local library. The library will be open both days so pop in to see what’s happening.
