Dear Mr. Mazor:

I am pleased to have this opportunity to extend my congratulations and appreciation to you and all the members of your organization for the fine work that you do in recycling books so that all young people may have the necessary tools to become avid and lifelong readers.

Your good work has helped many schools acquire needed reading materials to expand their library, an accomplishment which is no small fete in light of current budget considerations. The concept to collect books from schools in affluent communities where they may be disposing of them and to distribute those books to schools in need is quite simple yet marvelously effective.

Please keep up the good work, as I am sure that your organization has made a big difference in the lives of many young people, whose education and potential will be significantly enhanced through reading.

Sincerely,

Richard E. Neal
Member of Congress
