In keeping with its tradition of supporting literacy, the Book Industry Guild of New York recently made a donation of children's books to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. "We are proud that our membership contributed from their hearts," said Book Industry Guild of New York v-p Jody Saunders Ray. "The donations came from individual BIGNY members who work in the book publishing, printing, and paper industries. We were able to fill two SUVs with books that will bring joy to a child's holiday."
The donations were presented to active Marines during the organization's holiday party. Pictured: (l.-r.)
