Through Saturday, Dec. 7, the Long Beach Island branch of the Ocean County Library in Surf City will partner with the Beach Haven Division and Ship Bottom Division of the First Aid Squad in participating in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys For Tots collection drive.

The primary goal of Marine Toys for Tots is, through the gift of a new toy, to help bring the joy of Christmas and send a message of hope to America’s less fortunate children.
