This summer at the BPL, help Boston read one million minutes, play BPL Bingo, Read Your Way to Fenway, and enjoy events for kids and teens!
Boston Reads 1 Million Minutes
Boston Public Library is challenging the city to read one million minutes this summer, from June 1 – August 31!
How can you join?
Read – Books, poetry, magazines, news – it all counts. You can even listen to audiobooks, story times, or author readings. Check out some ideas for kids, teens, and adults.
Report – Report your minutes read each week here or at any BPL location. Attend a read-in at the BPL to make your minutes count double!
Recommend – Follow Boston’s progress in reaching one million minutes, encourage friends and family to join, and tell us what you’re reading on social media with #BostonReads2018
Read Your Way to Fenway
In this annual summer reading contest, children and teens read three books for a chance to win three tickets to watch the Red Sox play at Fenway Park on Sunday, August 19, at 1:05 p.m. Entry forms and rules can be picked up at any BPL location or found online.
