Boston Bruins to Host 10 "When You Read, You Score!" Events This Summer

BOSTON - The Boston Bruins will be returning to Massachusetts and New Hampshire libraries this summer to continue their "When You Read, You Score!" initiative with 10 visits to local libraries.

This is the 14th year the Bruins have partnered with the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners and the Massachusetts Library System, and the fifth year partnering with the New Hampshire State Library to support literacy programs and encourage reading among youth across the state.

Throughout the summer, Bruins Mascot Blades will visit Massachusetts and New Hampshire libraries in an effort to promote the initiative and interact with young readers, who will also have the chance to win official Bruins prizes by competing in hockey trivia and taking photos with Blades.

To help inspire children and teens to keep reading over the summer, Bruins players including **Brandon Carlo, **Charlie Coyle and **Brad Marchand** have helped libraries develop a summer reading list that also includes librarian picks for the best hockey books.
