This is the 12th year the Bruins have partnered with the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners and the Massachusetts Library System to support literacy programs and encourage reading among youth across the state.
Throughout the summer, Bruins Mascot Blades will visit Massachusetts libraries in an effort to promote the initiative and interact with young readers, who will also have the opportunity to participate in Bruins arts and crafts, play fun games, and have the chance to win official Bruins prizes by competing in hockey trivia. First Lady of the Commonwealth Lauren Bakerwill accompany Blades at four locations this summer, denoted with an asterisk below.
