Black history month – buy wishlisted books for us!

For Black History Month, we’ve curated a special list of high-demand books and topics. We’d love any and all help getting them into our library for distribution to folks behind bars. Thanks!

Here’s the local Pegasus Books wishlist, if you’d like to buy: https://www.pegasusbookstore.com/wishlist/571

And here’s the Amazon.com version of the list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/OZTZRXXUXKNI

As always, we really appreciate your help!

Sending books to incarcerated people for over 40 years

Prisoners Literature Project is an inclusive, all-volunteer, grassroots nonprofit whose purpose is to encourage reading, the pursuit of knowledge, and self-determination among incarcerated people. By sending free reading materials to those behind bars, PLP aims to foster learning and critical thinking and help people prepare to lead successful lives after incarceration. We believe that all people have a right to read.

Please consider donating to the PLP or volunteering your time (if you live in the Bay Area, CA!) to help us answer letters from prisoners who write us from all over the United States.
