Ahead of the school year, Newport-Mesa’s 22 elementary schools will be receiving more than a dozen books each to add to their libraries thanks to a donation from the Patrick’s Purpose Foundation. All the books were purchased from Lido Village Books, which founder Kim Turner said was an intentional choice to support local businesses. She then reached out to Lido Village Books, who along with the Newport-Mesa Unified School District staff, helped to cultivate a list of books to donate. Boxes for each elementary school in the Newport-Mesa Unified School District are stacked high, each filled with books donated by the Patrick’s Purpose Foundation. “We’ll continue the relationship with Patrick’s Purpose to see in other areas where we can work together and continue to develop our future leaders.”Support our coverage by becoming a digital subscriber.
