You can drop off your books at mass on the 9th and 16th.  SVdP volunteers will be there to help you put them in the bins in the Narthex. (Please no textbooks, encyclopedias, or the kind of technology books and manuals that are received with new computers, software or TV’s.)  In addition to providing books for others to enjoy, you will also be bringing hope to many families who are in need of financial assistance.
