Nevins Library Partnering with Boston Bruins for Needy Kids!          
 
The Nevins Library is pleased to announce that we are participating in this year's Boston Bruins PJ Drive in partnership with Cradles to  Crayons  
We will be collecting donations of NEW Children's Pajamas through the month of February.  The pajamas collected will be distributed to local kids living in poverty or homelessness.  They are asking specifically for pajamas sized 4/5T - 18/20.  Don't have time to pick up some new pajamas, but would still like to help these kids?  We will also be collecting checks made out to "Cradles to Crayons".  After all, $10 provides one child with a pair of new pajamas.  Our collection point will be right inside the building near the Main Desk.  Thanks for helping us help local children in need!
