"A Book is a Gift You Can Open Again and Again”

By: Brianna Kerrane

BAP and SAS held its 4th annual children’s book drive April 8th-17th benefitting the United Neighborhood Centers (UNC) of Northeastern Pennsylvania. We hold this event annually in support of BAP’s “Donation of 100 Books to Support Literacy” campaign to promote literacy in our local communities. The past three years, we have been able to meet and well exceed our 100 book goal. This year, we were able to donate 357 books to UNC, making this our most successful drive yet!

OnApril 17,we held our bookmark making party, where we collaborated with the Scranton Art Club to make over one hundred bookmarks decorated with personalized designs, stickers, and words of encouragement. The staff at UNC were so grateful for our generous donation and wanted to extend their appreciation to the rest of the University.

UNC locations provide affordable childcare services throughout northeastern Pennsylvania including before-and after-school care and preschool services. UNC understands that reliable and accessible child care is essential for a child’s success and development and works to staff locations with experienced and licensed professionals. This wonderful association also provides community services to older citizens, young teenagers, housing aid, and career and education guidance.
