We believe that access to quality literature can enrich lives and create lasting memories for children and their families.
Q: What inspired you to initiate this event five years ago?
Mayor Joe Judge: The inspiration came from our commitment to supporting families in our area. We noticed that many families were looking for ways to provide their children with engaging reading materials without the financial strain. Disney books are beloved by children, and we wanted to create an opportunity for families to take home something special, free of charge.

This way, we can ensure everyone walks away with a selection of Disney titles.
Q: How do you envision the impact of this event on families, especially during the holiday season?
Mayor Joe Judge: We want families to spend quality time together, and what better way to do that than through reading? The holiday season can be hectic, and we hope this event brings a sense of joy and togetherness. These books can provide countless hours of entertainment and learning, helping to foster creativity and imagination in children.
Q: Is there anything else you would like to share to encourage participation?
Mayor Joe Judge: I encourage everyone to mark their calendars for this Saturday. This is a fantastic opportunity to not only gather some wonderful books but also to connect with other families in the community. We’ve seen wonderful turnout in previous years, and I believe this year will be no exception. Let’s make this a celebration of reading and community spirit!
