The Give Backpacks program and Locust Valley community provided over 100 local students with new backpacks and school supplies for the upcoming academic year.
District interpreter Cyndy Ergen and community member Paola Diaz head the Give Backpacks program, which is in its 13th year.
School supplies were collected at the Bayville Library and Locust Valley Library throughout the summer, and were distributed for students in grades K-12.
“This is all about teamwork from our patrons in our amazing community and district and the support of our local library directors,” Ergen said in a release.
