The Florida Panthers second-annual Summer Reading Tour will wrap up this week.
In conjunction with Broward County Libraries, the Panthers have already made nine stops on their tour, with guest readers, games and more bringing smiles to local children each time. On Wednesday, the final reading of the summer will be taking place at Young Art Library in Davie.
The event is scheduled to run from 2-5 p.m. and will feature another surprise reader.
From radio and television broadcasters like Randy Moller, Steve Goldstein and Doug Plagens, to current Panthers players such as forward Jayce Hawryluk and defenseman Aaron Ekblad, this year's tour has already welcomed a wealth of readers from all around the hockey world.
"I was very excited to get to do this again," said Ekblad, who also read at last year's tour. "It's always nice to come out and do something like this. As a kid, I remember being excited for things like this, no matter who it was that came out. Whether it was a hockey player or a doctor coming to read to you, it was always fun. It's always cool to learn, especially when you're a kid."
