The "Saugus Reads" Program

Read with us this summer at the Library.

In an effort to bring the Community of Saugus together, the Library is sponsoring "Saugus Reads"... a town-wide reading event from Independence Day to Founders' Day. So that residents of all ages may participate, books for all reading abilities will be included on the reading list. Join us for events, programs, movies, activities, and prizes. Families are encouraged to read together. A calendar of events will be available in the Library and on our web site. Our theme is Americana to co-ordinate our activities with the state-wide summer reading program Star Spangled Summer.
