Operation Early Reading co-chairs Patricia Van Hoegarden and Eileen Hanley enlisted volunteers to sort and shelve hundreds of elementary level books on Thursday, July 10.
Many were bi-lingual, mostly Spanish but a handful of other languages as well.  The Operation Early Reading backpack program served 777 students during the 2013-14 school year.
