| Used Books Collected for Counseling Center |
| |
ABINGTON, MA - In 2004, Dan Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code” was so popular that the novel could barely be kept on the shelves at local bookstores. Today, the “Twilight” series is all the rage among teens and young adults. But what should readers do once all the pages have been turned and those books are just taking up space? At the Elm Street entrance of the United Church of Christ in Abington, there’s a bin where those books can be put to good use, as well as any CDs, DVDs, videos and audio books. Got Books Inc., an organization out of Lawrence, is collecting those materials and donating a portion of the profits to the Norma Kent Pastoral Counseling Center of Abington. Judy MacKenzie, a therapist at the center, said the Norma Kent center provides therapy and counseling to patients, and offers an option of incorporating religion. MacKenzie said the book drive will help keep the center afloat. “We do various fundraising through the year because some people who have no insurance or limited insurance, we do what we can, but the people here need some compensation,” she said.Read More...
