Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
The John Curtis Free Library has teamed up with the Boston Bruins to
\nparticipate in their annual pajama drive to benefit DCF Kids and Cradles to
\nCrayons. The PJ Drive\u2019s goal is to collect 10,000 pairs of new pajamas
\nfor children and teens in need.<\/p>\n
The Boston Bruins PJ Drive runs from February 1 through March 15, 2017. The
\nlibrary will be collecting new pairs of pajamas for babies, children and
\nteens. Pajamas are also being collected this year at Hanover High School
\nand the South Shore Vocational Technical High School.<\/p>\n
Bruins forward P.J. Axelsson and his wife, Siw, started the PJ drive during
\nthe Boston Bruins 2007-2008 season as a way to give to give back to their
\ncommunity. The couple collected 1,600 pairs of pajamas for Cradles to
\nCrayons which connects with social service agencies across the state to
\nidentify specific children in need.<\/p>\n
The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) works with the
\nBoston Bruins to coordinate library participation in the drive. Libraries
\nfrom around the state use the Massachusetts Library System\u2019s delivery
\nservice, typically used to send books and other library materials, to send
\ntheir PJs to area collection locations which increases libraries\u2019 ability
\nto participate in the drive.<\/p>\n
Pajama donations may be placed in the collection box on the library\u2019s
\nChildren\u2019s Room desk. For more information please call 781-826-2972,
\nextension 4, or contact lcampbell@ocln.org .<\/p>\n
