Read Across LD7!
Last week, in honor of Read Across America Week and Dr. Suess’ birthday, I visited schools throughout our legislative district to share my love of reading with students of all ages. This is one of my favorite weeks of the year, and hope it inspired my youngest bosses to open up a book and read!
Donate Unwanted Books!
My legislative colleagues and I are collecting new and gently used children’s books throughout the month of March in honor of Dr. Suess’ Birthday and National Reading Month. Donations will be given to BookSmiles, a local organization that seeks to “irrigate book deserts” by building personal libraries for kids and classrooms in need. Anyone interested in donating books can drop them off Mon-Fri, from 9am to 5pm at our office located at 400 North Church Street, Suite 260 in Moorestown. A donation bin is in the lobby of the building. See below for more info and additional drop off sites!
