Baltimore County Public Library Hosts School Supply Drive

  • By Baltimore County Public Library

As a community connector, we strive to break down barriers to make sure everyone has the same opportunity to succeed. As Baltimore County enters the back-to-school season, we are proud to partner with the Education Foundation of Baltimore County Public Schools (BCPS) to hold a supply drive from Monday, August 12 through Saturday, September 14. The collected supplies play a crucial role in helping to support teachers stock their classrooms with basic items some students may not be able to afford, while alleviating the financial burden of purchasing supplies themselves.
