Books to Prisoners

What a fabulous organization:

Books To Prisoners (BTP) is a Seattle-based nonprofit, all-volunteer organization that provides free books to prisoners in the United States.

BTP believes that books are tools that open minds to new ideas and possibilities. By sending books to prisoners, we hope to foster a love of reading and encourage the pursuit of knowledge and self-improvement.

...Unfortunately, the prison population is growing and budgets for prison libraries are shrinking.

Many prisoners do not have access to dictionaries and other basic educational materials.

By volunteering or donating, you help us respond to an increasing number of book requests.

They are always looking for donations of time, money or books - please spread the word!
