The period for donations has closed. Together with our audiences we were able to collect 100 books for the Massachusetts Department of Youth Services. Thank you to everyone who donated!
All donations will be used to provide youth involved in the juvenile justice system with high quality, engaging reading materials designed to foster an interest in reading and the development of practical skills. By expanding the reading materials available to these youth, we will help them envision a world bigger and richer than their current circumstances and equip them for a life of learning. We appreciate all donations.
