Good news – the ban on used books being sent to prisoners in Washington State has largely been resolved, as the Seattle Times explained last week.
(Though there’s still some negotiation over details, there will now be named non-profits who are allowed to donate directly to prisoners, and PLP will be one of them.)
Thanks to everyone who signed a petition or otherwise sent good thoughts, and special thanks to Seattle Books To Prisoners for arranging the pushback.
It’s time for our annual #GivingTuesday campaign, and we at Prisoners Literature Project have again put together $2,500 in matching funds, so the dollars you donate can be doubled from now until the end of December.
Prisoners Literature Project sends out over 30,000 books a year! There are a huge range of topics requested by incarcerated readers. We do our best to stock books in some of the more popular areas. Here are a few such titles that we thought we’d share.
Loving the support of another Books Inc. location in Alameda! Stop by and check it out and enjoy the nearby restaurants, outdoor seating, theatre and movieplex, and much more. It’s a fun place to hangout. Help PLP and support a local independent bookstore first opened in 1851!
