Urbana-based project providing books to Illinois inmates at no cost. They offer books by mail to all Illinois inmates and operate lending libraries in our two local county jails.
They are an all volunteer organization with a number of easy ways to get involved. Whether you have an hour a month or would like to volunteer more often, you are invited to to work with them. They interact with inmates by reading their letters, selecting books from the collection of donated materials and shipping the books directly to the inmates.
The volunteers also staff lending libraries in the Champaign County jails. If you would prefer to work behind the scenes, they need help managing, soliciting and coordinating book donations as well as raising funds to pay for this work.
