Reading Marathon
March 1 through April 21
On your mark, get set … read! The Hopkinton Public Library’s Reading Marathon will take participants from Hopkinton to Boston in 26 hours of reading. Best of all, readers won’t have to get blisters on their feet, soak their sneakers, get a sunburn on their spine, or even so much as leave their comfy reading chair (except to grab the next book on the stack). Like Summer Reading, this program rewards individuals for reading. Participants will use the library’s new reading website, called ReadSquared, to track their reading time in order to progress along the Boston Marathon route. Over the course of 26 hours of reading, individuals will unlock badges, win prizes and get messages of encouragement from town leadership. All ages are invited to join.
