Take some books and a desk in Lawrence

Posted

A half dozen tables full of books were arranged on the landing outside of the Broadway Campus in Lawrence as the Freeport-based Book Fairies held a book fair for two hours on Aug. 26. The nonprofit organization donates books and holds its mission to connect new and little-used books with libraries, schools and groups across the New York metropolitan area.

Along with the books and some school supplies, the Lawrence School District was having residents with children borrow classroom desks for the school year. The Broadway Campus building houses both Lawrence Elementary School and the middle school.
