What is Stoneham Reads?Stoneham Reads is a community-building project in Stoneham, MA. All are invited to read the same book and participate in related activities to foster connections, promote an appreciation of our town and have fun.
The project is a collaboration among town residents and community groups, sponsored by the Stoneham Community Development Corporation, the Stoneham Public Library, the Stoneham Rotary Club, StonehamBank and Winchester Hospital.
