Finn Poulos is one of a select group of young people to receive Boston Bruins prizes for their outstanding participation in Mattapoisett Free Public Library’s summer reading program, organizers announced in a press release.
Chris Matos, head of the library s children’s department, was excited for the prize winner. “We had an unusual summer last year with our program being just kits for the children to pick up, so it was great to have a special incentive for everyone to get excited about,” said Matos.
Finn Poulos couldn’t be happier, organizers said. He said he’s going home to hang it on his wall.
