A new volunteer group in Abbotsford is providing at-home deliveries of books and puzzles for seniors and others who have difficulties leaving their home.

The Book Bags was created by Pamela Chatry, a businesswoman, coach and previous president of the local Business and Professional Women’s Association. She is also a board member of Archway Community Services.

Chatry came up with the idea after her 89-year-old mom, who is an avid reader, moved into an independent living facility last July in the midst of the pandemic.
