Thank you for sharing the light of knowledge and joy of reading with students who do not have the access to books that Reading students enjoy.
This collection will benefit students of St. John Paul II Catholic Academy, Dorchester.
Despite receiving significant support from the Catholic Schools Foundation, the Academy's schools do not have libraries. In our town of Reading, students have small classroom libraries in addition to school building libraries, as well as tremendous access to books at home. Most of the Academy's students have very limited access to books at home. Read more about St. John Paul II Catholic Academy.
