Newburyport Five Cents Savings Bank

Founding Sponsor

"I have always believed that reading stimulates interest in more than just the topic at hand. People who read tend to develop a sense of curiosity that makes them smarter than they would otherwise be. In many ways, the greatest educational gift we can give our children is to instill the love of reading. We are delighted to sponsor the Newburyport Literary Festival in an attempt to excite people, young and old, about the joys and benefits of reading."
