The Placentia Public Library, Community Youth Network - CYN Placentia and Freshwater Community Centre are once again offering a School Supply drive for the upcoming school year.

The lists for the local schools have been added to this post to help with any donations or pick ups. There is a box located in the porch of the library, as well as the Freshwater Community Centre for the public to avail of these donations/pick ups.

This has been a big help to some families over the years so we hope the same for this year!
