Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The John Curtis Free Library has teamed up with the Boston Bruins to
participate in the 15th annual Boston Bruins PJ Drive to benefit Department
of Children and Families’ (DCF) Wonderfund and Cradles to Crayons. The PJ
Drive’s goal is to collect 5,000 pairs of new pajamas. Many of the
pajamas donated go to local DCF offices in the area in which they were
collected, benefitting local kids and teens.
The PJ Drive runs now through March 31. The library will be collecting new
pairs of pajamas for babies, children and teens.
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 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.
The collection box for pajamas is located in the library’s main entrance
foyer. For more information, call 781-826-2972, extension 4, or email
lcampbell@ocln.org.
