Ridgewood's Bookends Donating Book Bundles To Paterson Students
Bookends has partnered with Paterson Public Schools and Paterson Reads for book bundles. Last year, roughly 1,500 books were donated.
RIDGEWOOD, NJ — Thirty dollars can go a long way when it comes to helping out North Jersey kids, especially when it comes to reading.
Bookends is again collecting donations in partnership with Paterson Public Schools and Paterson Reads for summer book bundles that will benefit kindergarten through eighth grade students in the district.
Book bundles are available to purchase, with $32 to $42 going toward a summer reading set of five to six books for students in the Paterson Public School District.
