Laguna Beach Assistance League contributed over 200 books to the local CSP Youth Shelter in Laguna Beach in November as part of a national push to donate 500,000 books over five years to schools and shelters to help disadvantaged students.

League volunteer members Marlene Dryer and San Dee Frei received book donations from Laguna Beach Books store, and members Carol Clark and Lori Cincotta procured books from libraries and the league Thrift Shop. Member Catherine Hall donated additional books, coordinated the book donations and delivered the books to the shelter.

The all-volunteer organization participates in a variety of local causes, including providing backpacks of school supplies and clothing to school age children.
