Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The John Curtis Free Library has teamed up with the Boston Bruins to
participate in the 18th 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 10,000 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. DCF estimates that at any
given time the agency is working with 50,000 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 to give back to their
community. Libraries from across the state joined the PJ Drive in 2014 and
have collected over 53,000 pairs of pajamas since then. The Massachusetts
Board of Library Commissioners works with the Boston Bruins to coordinate
library participation.
The drive runs February 1 through March 15. The Hanover library’s goal
this year is to collect 100 new pajamas. The collection box is located in
the lobby by the main entrance.
