Westy Self Storage Supports First Annual HUGS Bookshare Fair

Westy Self Storage in White Plains continues its support of Give More HUGS (Helping Unite Giving Souls). Westy was a collection and storage site for books for the group’s first annual BookShare Fair.

The mission of Give More HUGS is to help unite giving souls to help students in need with the tools to inspire a lifelong love for learning, reading, and creativity. Books can change lives, one student at a time. Through the HUGS BookShare Fair volunteers at Give More HUGS, Westy Self Storage and many other organizations, gently used and new books were collected to launch at the free New York BookShare Fair.

On October 6, Give More HUGS and partner organizations will be at John F Kennedy Magnet School and at King Street Elementary on October 7. The BookShare Fair will run from 10am-3pm each day. Teachers at both schools will sign up their classes to attend this free book fair. Visit www.givemorehugs.org to learn more about the HUGS BookShare program.
