The Prison
Book Project maintains an inventory of donated books that
we receive from individuals and through book drives organized
on our behalf. If you would like to donate books or to
organize a book drive for us, please contact us at prisonbookproject@riseup.net,
or 413-584-8975 ext. 208.
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE BOOKS AT THE CHURCH FOR US!
PLEASE DO NOT MAIL BOOKS TO OUR P.O.BOX WITHOUT CONTACTING US FIRST.
We know we're yelling right there - it's because it's important. Thanks.
Please note that due
to prison regulations, we can only accept paperback books
with intact front and back covers. No hardback books,
please.
Dictionaries
continue to be the books that prisoners request most often.
You or your group might consider donating a case of English
or Spanish-English dictionaries to us. We also welcome
gift cards to local bookstores, particularly Food for
Thought Books in Amherst!
We are always
in need of these books:
-
Dictionaries (English and Spanish/English)
-
How to and repair manuals (automotive, carpentry, electric, HVAC)
- Fantasy and science fiction
- Westerns
- Buddhism, Paganism, and Wicca
- Yoga and meditation
- African-American, Latino American, and Native-American fiction, history, and studies
- Gay, bisexual, and transgender fiction, history, and studies
- How to draw and paint
- Drug and alcohol addiction recovery
