Family Fun with Boston Bruins Reading Rinks

Boston Bruins: when you read, you score

The Boston Bruins are celebrating their collaboration with the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners and the Massachusetts Regional Library Systems with a creative approach to encouraging children and families to visit their public library and spend time reading together. The team is donating five Bruins Reading Rinks to Massachusetts public libraries.

The rinks feature a Bruins rug, Bruins themed hockey furniture, bookcases made from hockey sticks and a kids-sized Bruins rocking chair. They provide a comfortable space for young readers and their families to read together, do a craft, or take part in a library program.

Last year, the Bruins made special visits and donated Reading Rinks to Newbury Town Library, South Hadley Public Library, Woburn Public Library, Middleborough Public Library, Plainville Public Library, and Manchester-by-the Sea Public Library received Reading Rinks.
