Ocean County Library needs 'Books for Kids'

The Ocean County Library will make the holidays a special time for children in the community through its "Books For Kids" program.

All 21 locations of the Ocean County Library are accepting new book donations from the community through Dec. 1. All books collected are distributed to disadvantaged children in Ocean County.

Last year, Ocean County Library teamed up with many community groups and distributed more than 4,000 books.

"Books for Kids" is a statewide program sponsored by the New Jersey Library Association's Children's Services Section. The program was started in 1991.

This project was undertaken with hope that every child in New Jersey will able to experience the joy of reading books of their very own.
