Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The John Curtis Free Library has teamed up with the Boston Bruins to
participate in their annual pajama drive to benefit DCF Kids and Cradles to
Crayons. The PJ Drive’s goal is to collect 10,000 pairs of new pajamas
for children and teens in need.
The Boston Bruins PJ Drive runs from February 1 through March 15, 2017. The
library will be collecting new pairs of pajamas for babies, children and
teens. Pajamas are also being collected this year at Hanover High School
and the South Shore Vocational Technical High School.
Bruins forward P.J. Axelsson and his wife, Siw, started the PJ drive during
the Boston Bruins 2007-2008 season as a way to give to give back to their
community. The couple collected 1,600 pairs of pajamas for Cradles to
Crayons which connects with social service agencies across the state to
identify specific children in need.
The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) works with the
Boston Bruins to coordinate library participation in the drive. Libraries
from around the state use the Massachusetts Library System’s delivery
service, typically used to send books and other library materials, to send
their PJs to area collection locations which increases libraries’ ability
to participate in the drive.
Pajama donations may be placed in the collection box on the library’s
Children’s Room desk. For more information please call 781-826-2972,
extension 4, or contact lcampbell@ocln.org .
