Skate and Read Wrap Up
Over the winter, Nevins Library continued its long association with the Methuen Fun Hockey League's Skate & Read program. Skate & Read recently concluded its 16th season of ice hockey training and recreational reading. 
Nevins Library hosted the Skate & Read launch party in February, where the players and their families were treated to pizza, hockey-related door prizes, and a presentation on the books by library staff. Additionally, librarians Kathy Moran-Wallace and Amy Fowler donned their woolen hats and parkas three times and brought books to the rink. The players were delighted to step off the ice and have the opportunity to choose a new book while still dressed in their equipment.
This has always been a successful partnership and a great way to encourage reading, physical activity and teamwork. Thanks to Jay Atkinson, and our colleagues Amy Fowler and Kathy Moran-Wallace for another terrific year.
