[Prison Banned Books Week @prisonsbanbooks]

Prison tablets are extremely expensive for those inside. For #prisonbannedbooksweek we say stop censoring paper literature and give free library catalogue access on prison tablets nationwide. #booksnotbans

Did you know that not all jails and prisons have libraries or educational programs? And the many restrictions within jails and prisons can make it difficult for people who are locked up to access reading materials.

[LouisianaBooks2Prisoners @LAB2P]

People write to us all the time (see pictures of letters) to personally share how much the books we sent meant to them.
