Excerpt: Paul raised the money selling used books on Newark Avenue and can be found outside the library every Saturday afternoon.
"If kids want to read, they always have the library here for them," said Paul, who has contributed a total of $1,902.84 to the library. "Last year, I read 115 books in the summer reading program. You can't buy them all."
