Hillsdale United Nursery School recently donated new Scholastic books to the Big Book Drive.

This book drive is a campaign by the Paterson Free Public Library to collect as many books as possible to give to Paterson children to take home. Their library was destroyed by floods during Hurricane Irene and they are trying to rebuild it. 

Hillsdale United Nursery School Director Carol Stalter told Patch they were "happy to donate to such a worthy cause, helping to open the world of reading to other children."
