For my service project,<br \/>\n&#8220;Paperbacks for Prisoners&#8221; , I am collecting gently used paperback books<br \/>\nfor the Prison Book Program in Quincy. Most prisons do not allow friends or<br \/>\nfamily to send books to inmates, but The Prison Book Program has been<br \/>\nproviding free books to several thousand prisoners each year since 1972.<br \/>\nIn addition to requests for fiction, non-fiction, self-help, instructional<br \/>\nand entertainment books, the most requested books include dictionaries,<br \/>\nthesauruses and other language dictionaries and grammar books (Spanish,<br \/>\nFrench, German, etc.)  From May 9 \u2013 18 there will be a drop box located<br \/>\noutside the front office at Hanover High School.  As you do your spring<br \/>\ncleaning, please consider donating your used paperback books to this very<br \/>\nworthy cause.  The books you donate may change someone\u2019s life.  Thank<br \/>\nyou.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, contact me at adawson16@hanoverschools.org .&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For &#8220;Around Town on the Web&#8221;,<br \/>\nCathy H-B<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<br \/>\n&#8220;Around Town on the Web&#8221; (&#8220;ATOTW&#8221;) has been a valued push notification<br \/>\nsince the spring of 2004 &#8211; long before there were push notifications!<\/p>\n<p>For submission guidelines and answers to frequently asked questions<br \/>\nabout &#8220;ATOTW&#8221;, please go to http:\/\/www.atotw.com.<br \/>\nTo search for archived &#8220;ATOTW&#8221; news, view the archive<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nIf you would like to be added to this distribution list, click here<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nPlease follow the link in the response e-mail to validate your<br \/>\naccount.
