Give A Book
Give a Book's mission is to help facilitate donations of books to individuals currently in prisons and jails.
We are aiming to tackle the lack of access to books and education in prison systems. Many prison libraries are underfunded and understaffed, or closed due to health and safety. A book in prison is really valuable, it can get read over 300 times, passed from person to person.
