2020 Teen Summer Reading: Team Read

​Things to do this summer:
  • Enjoy the sun
  • Eat ice cream
  • Compete in a Battle of the Books:
    • Team Dragon for adventurous and daring heroes.
    • Team Pegasus for hard working and loyal friends.
    • Team Sphinx for clever and creative thinkers.
    • Team Centaur for ambitious and resourceful leaders.​

Read all summer to earn points for your team and find tons of opportunities for your imagination. Every minute you read this summer will be worth a point towards your team's running total.  Points will be added together from 3 other South Shore libraries each week!  Compete with (and against) teens from Stoughton Public Library, Thayer Public Library (Braintree), and Tufts Weymouth Public Library.

This summer has another a twist, though... you've been trapped in an Enchanted Forest! There are fairies, dragons, genies, kings and queens, monsters, and more ahead of you. In order to make your way out of the forest, you'll need wits, bravery, clear thinking, and a good sense of humor. Complete activities and earn badges to get closer to escape the forest.
Imagine Your Own Adventure!
Summer 2020 South Shore Team Read: 1st place Sphinx, 2nd place Dragon, 3rd place Centaur, 4th place Pegasus
​​And the winner is... Team Sphinx! Congratulations! ​
  • 1st place = Team Sphinx with 46,456 points
  • 2nd place = Team Dragon with 32,771 points
  • 3rd place = Team Centaur with 16,032 points
  • 4th place = Team Pegasus with 11,523 points ​

Thank you to all our wonderful readers this summer!
