Thank you for supporting Books for Boston

August 6, 2020
Stories, Unlocking Opportunity

Thank you to the individuals and organizations that supported Books for Boston, a campaign that purchased and safely delivered more than 6,000 books to 28 non-profits (see full lis t) serving individuals impacted by COVID-19.

With the help of local booksellers, Frugal Bookstore, Trident Booksellers & Cafe, Porter Square Books, and Brookline Booksmith, as well as the generous support of our donors, the BPL was able to give the gift of reading to those who needed it most.
