You, too, can help make a difference by signing up to purchase a book(s) on the list, purchase the book at Park Street Books for a 20% discount or other booksellers, and bring the book to the lobby at UCC Medfield. On October 28th the book drive will end and the books will be sent by Park Street Books to the schools on the Reservation.
