Senator Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick donates 1,000 books

The office of Senator Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick held a successful community book drive, collecting over 1,000 books. The books will be distributed to underserved communities across the 9th Senate District, which ranges from Floral Park to Long Beach.

The book drive aims to promote literacy and foster a love of learning by providing books to individuals and families who may not have easy access to reading materials. 

Due to the generosity of community members, businesses, and local organizations, the book drive exceeded expectations. As a result, Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick’s donations will ensure children and adults alike will benefit from the collected books. 

“I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who participated in our book drive initiative,” said Senator Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick. “Every book donated is a step toward encouraging literacy and a lifelong love of reading. The response from our community has been incredible, and I look forward to continuing initiatives that make a positive impact on those in need.”

The donated books were given to Book Fairies, a non-profit organization dedicated to distributing reading materials to underserved communities across Long Island.
