The summer reading program at the Mattapoisett Free Public Library is starting to wind down, which means only one thing: the ice cream sundae party is approaching.

Children’s director Linda Burke urges participants to record the hours they’ve spent reading to the library no later than 4 p.m. on Saturday, August 3^rd. Any person who has read a minimum of six hours during the program’s span is invited to the ice cream sundae party on August 7 at 1 p.m.

People who record their hours will also be eligible to win a raffle prize at the party.

Burke also reminds families who signed up to bring the list of books the family read together. These families will be eligible to win the Family Prize Bucket.

Contact the children’s department of the Mattapoisett Free Public Library at 508-758-4171 for questions or more information.
