Stop & Shop Community Bag Program
Starting April 1 and for the entire month when you purchase a $2.50 reusable Community Bag at the Stop & Shop located in Foxboro (141 Main St.), $1 is donated to The Friends of the Fiske Library.
Our goal is to sell 250 bags, equivalent to $100 raised. We are confident that with the help of our dedicated supporters, we can reach this goal.
We strongly encourage you to share this news with family and friends as well!
The Community Bags are located on displays around the store and at the checkout. For more information about the program, please visit stopandshop.2givelocal.com.

Help Support the Summer Reading Program
Dear Friends,
Get ready to read! The Fiske Public Library is gearing up for our 2023 Statewide Summer Reading Program: Find Your Voice! We are preparing to empower children and young adults this summer with books. We hope we can count on you for support. This year’s program begins on June 23 and will offer children of all ages an opportunity to earn prizes for reading during the summer. Children from birth through high school are invited to participate. Last year’s program, Read Beyond the Beaten Path, had more than 420 children register. By the end of the summer, more than 250 children met their reading goals and were eligible for prizes. We hope to have even more kids coming to read this summer. 
We are asking library patrons, local businesses, banks, and civic groups for donations for reading incentive prizes to encourage Wrentham families to read together.  Remember that donations go a long way; ideally we’d like any individual prizes donated within the $10 range. In fact, donations of any kind are greatly appreciated. The prizes help promote reading during the time that kids are out of school and may not customarily read on their own. Your generosity will help provide the resources necessary to make this program a success. In return for any donation, your name or the name of your business or organization will be posted in the library and listed on any promotional materials, including the library newsletter and social media. With your support, families will enjoy Find Your Voice!
We thank you in advance for your generosity and support. If you have any questions about the program or would like to contribute to this worthy cause, please call our children’s librarian Sara DelPriore
at 508-384-5440 ext.5
Sincerely,    
Your Friends at Fiske Public Library
