[RP TownTalk] Kids Books

[Dannielle Glaros]

Friends,

Just to clarify,  Riverdale Elementary teachers are very happy to take
donated books.  They are then given directly to the kids, many of whom
do not have any books.  If you have books,  I would be happy to get
them to the teachers.  I have already done this this year. Pre-k to
6th grade books are appreciated.
