Jenzabar Foundation Pledges $5,000 to PTK for Lilly

PTK is pleased to announce it received a grant for $5,000 from The Jenzabar Foundation for Lilly, one of Worcester Library’s bookmobiles that travels to public schools and family events in Worcester to help promote childhood literacy.

A Boston-based public charity, The Jenzabar Foundation’s mission is to recognize and support the good works and humanitarian efforts of the student leaders serving others across the global community. The foundation issues grants to institutions of higher education and charitable organizations with similarly aligned missions.

QCC’s Alpha Zeta Theta chapter of Phi Theta Kappa National Honor Society has committed to raise more than $100,000 over the next three years to support staffing, operation and maintenance of the bookmobile.

Lilly and its on-board collection of more than 5,000 books, audiobooks and DVDs makes stops at Worcester public schools as well as local preschools, after-school programs, and children's community events.
