Summer Reading Grand Prize Winners
The 2025 Summer Reading Program, Level Up at Your Library, has now ended. Congratulations to the two awesome brothers who took home a team-signed Boston Bruins jersey, won in a random drawing through their participation in the “When You Read, You Score!” Statewide Summer Library Program!
Huge thanks to our program sponsors, Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC), the Massachusetts Library System (MLS), and the Boston Bruins for encouraging summer reading and supporting libraries across Massachusetts, with funding from the Institute of Museums and Library Services.
The Thayer Public Library Summer Reading Program is additionally supported by local sponsors: Starland Sportsplex (Hanover), and Altitude Trampoline Park (Avon). We are very grateful to our local sponsors, as well!

All through the summer, library visitors of all ages have been making origami cranes to celebrate World Peace Day. We were trying to get to 1,000 cranes, but we might not quite get there before September 21st. Visit the library to see our World Peace Day display and make a paper crane or two to help us reach our goal!
On Monday, September 15th, Miss Elisabeth will hold a Celebration of World Peace Day for little ones ages 2½ to 4, with two sessions of stories, songs, and crafts at 10 am and 11 am.
