The Legal Aid Society on Twitter: "We just launched a pilot project in Brooklyn Criminal Court where our young clients can choose a book to read from over 200 titles as they wait for their case to be called. We're hoping that this will eventually spread citywide. #LetThemRead https://t.co/MKi6GEpUyN"

  So pleased that I read the link to get an answer to my worry and discover that yes, the young clients may take the book home with them! Is there a link to make a donation?

  Lovd this! I hope it spreads! (Any chance it will be broadened to provide access to clients older than teens?)

  It’s really a shame, LegalAidNYC took a dive on us at Sandy Hook.. ‘we could be instrumental in this as well. Ea. year we host the East Hampton RoundTable, +a private dinner at residence. We’d STILL like to help.
