Make a book donation to the Books to Prisoners Book Drive today! Books to Prisoners is a Seattle-based nonprofit organization whose mission it is to foster a love of reading behind bars, encourage the pursuit of knowledge and self-empowerment, and break the cycle of recidivism. The most popular requests are dictionaries, thesauruses, African American history, and fiction. Books to Prisoners relies on books donated by community members to answer these requests, so please make a book donation this quarter to help a few of the thousands of individuals who request books each year. Book drop-offs are located in the Library 4000 Building (near the main entrance) and the PUB 9000 Building (across from the front entrance). Donations are being accepted now through March 20.
