(WWLP)\u2013 The Springfield City Library has partners with the Boston Bruins to take part in the Bruins PJ drive that benefits children through the Department of Children and Families\u2019 (DCF) Wonderfund and Cradles to Crayons.<\/p>\n<p>The PJ drive runs through March 15 at all nine library locations in the city. They are looking for new pairs of pajamas for babies, children and teenagers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s hard to imagine that so many kids and teens don\u2019t know the comforting feeling of putting on PJs before settling down to sleep. We\u2019re happy to be part of an effort to change that\u201d said Jean Canosa Albano, Assistant Director of the Library.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of the PJ drive is to collect 5,000 pairs of new pajamas. DCF is estimated to be working with agency that assist more than 50,000 babies, children and teenagers.<\/p>\n<p>The Bruins PJ drive began during the 2007-08 hockey season with Forward P.J. Axelsson and his wife Siw as a way to give back to the community. Since 2014, libraries across the state have joined in on the effort and have collected over 53,000 pairs of pajamas since.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/bruins\/community\/pj-drive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bruins PJ Drive website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Springfield City Library has partnered with the Boston Bruins to take part in the Bruins PJ drive that benefits children.
