This program is limited to 12 participants. Patrons must be signed up for our Adult Summer Reading program and have 2 check-ins to register.

Registration is required. Come in or call the Blackstone Public Library at 508-883-1931 for more information.

"Plant a Seed, Read" Statewide Summer Reading Program is sponsored by the Blackstone Cultural Council, the Friends of the Blackstone Public Library and the library's LIG/MEG account, as authorized by the Board of Library Trustees.

"Plant a Seed, Read" is rooted in the concept of farm to table. A farm grows food that nourishes our bodies; a library grows ideas that nourish our minds. Both food and stories connect us to our family, culture, economy, and ecology. "iRead 2026: Plant a Seed, Read," will provide a context for exploring culture, history, science, health, and human connection.
