The Ipswich Public Library will be hosting a pajama drive in collaboration with the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners and our friends at the Boston Bruins! Let’s be honest, Blades is a personal friend of ours now!

We will be collecting new pajamas from February 18th through March 15th. We are hoping that community groups and businesses around town will collect pajamas too! We will provide collection boxes for you. The pajamas will go to various agencies including Cradles to Crayons, the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families and our local Fostering Care program where they create backpacks for children who find themselves in emergency situations.

This is a great time of year to purchase new children’s pajamas as they are often on sale. And please, remember that big kids like new pajamas too!

There is probably no lovelier point in the day for a caregiver than when they tuck a child into bed, read a story, give them a kiss and probably “just one more drink of water.” Not all children have this privilege of going to bed in warm pajamas, not hungry or cold, so they can wake in the morning rested and ready for school. Please consider donating new pajamas to our Pajama Drive! It is a simple, but kind and thoughtful gesture.
