State Sen. Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick is supporting a community-wide book drive intended to promote literacy and reading. The book drive is an opportunity for donors to give back to the community, the news release continued, and can help support reading and education across Nassau County.
“We know the power of a good book— it can inspire, educate, and open doors to new worlds,” Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick said in a news release. “I encourage everyone to donate new or gently used books and help us make a difference in the lives of others.”
Books can be donated at five public libraries in Nassau County ¾ Lynbrook, Long Beach, Elmont, Lawrence and Malverne ¾ until Feb. 7. All donations will go to Book Fairies, a Freeport-based nonprofit organization that distributes books to communities in need on Long Island.
