When Westchester welcomes its first 100 percent affordable-housing development called Red Tail Crossing next month, local Girl Scouts will be among the first to extend a helping hand. Girl Scouts across the Westchester/Del Rey Service Unit are rallying together to create a new community library for the building’s residents, collecting books, board games, and gift cards to help families feel at home from day one.

To support the drive, The Book Jewel is serving as a drop off location! Donations of new and gently used books can be dropped off by January 20, so that Red Tail Crossing’s community will be fully stocked and ready for young readers when they host their ribbon-cutting ceremony on January 23.
