Over a dozen families made their way to the Sawyer Free Library to not only meet Boston Bruins mascot Blades, but to help several organizations support children in foster care.
Every year since 2009, the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, Cradles for Crayons and the Boston Bruins have teamed up for a pajama drive. This year, the organizations hope to collect 10,000 sets for children in foster care this year.
