BABYLON, NY — The Town of Babylon has successfully collected over 5,000 books for local students.
In partnership with Book Fairies, this historic effort brought together residents, educators, and community partners to foster a love for reading and support literacy initiatives throughout the community, town officials said. The books will provide students with greater access to reading materials that encourage imagination, learning, and personal growth.
This book donation effort also ties into the town's celebration of P.S. I Love You Day, founded by sisters Jaimie and Brooke DiPalma. The day promotes love, kindness, and positive mental health awareness.
