Over 20 teens stranded on a deserted island – WHO WILL SURVIVE?  Reading teens and ‘tweens had a blast on Thursday, August 19 as they competed to see who was the top survivor team at the Reading Public Library. Games and activities were followed by an ice cream sundae celebration and a grand raffle, with prizes that ranged from books and movies to gift cards and games!  What a fabulous end to the annual Teen Summer Reading Program! Thanks  :-)

It was a tough job, but our local teens and ‘tweens did a terrific job judging a variety of cheese pizzas from  local Reading pizza parlors!  The top honors for our first annual Pizza Taste-Off go to Anthony’s Roast Beef (214 Main St., Reading / 781-942-0100).

Our judges tasted and rated a number of local eatery pizzas on Overall Taste, Sauce, Cheese and Crust.  Thanks to all who participated!
