Saugus High School student athlete shared the spotlight last Saturday night with a local attorney, an elementary school principal and an adjunct college professor in a special observance at the Saugus Public Library. Amanda Napoli, who is a National Honor Society member and president of the Saugus High Class of 2018, was among those honored as this year’s “Readers Make Good Leaders” award recipients in the library’s Third Annual Gala sponsored by the Saugus Public Library Foun-
dation. Napoli stood in front of a giant poster depicting her holding her book – “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury – which was set up on easel on the library’s second floor. “This book was the first book I read in High School and it opened up my world to think more,”Napoli said in a brief speech that was inscribed on the poster. “The theme in the book is the symbol of rebirth; there is room for change … Reading opens up your world to new ideas and experiences without having to live through them,” she said. This year’s honorees also in-
cluded the following: • Attorney Nelson Chang, a former Town Meeting Member and School Committee member, who selected as his favorite book “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” by Jules Verne. “I chose this book because I feel this book was the beginning of science fiction. The author, Verne, was ahead of his time. He wrote about submarines being powered by electricity, which was unknown at the time,” Chang said. “Looking forward to the future has always interested me.
