Why are book bans in prisons so awful? theguardian.com/us-news/2024/s…

Prison tablets are extremely expensive for those inside. For #prisonbannedbooksweek we say stop censoring paper literature and give free library catalogue access on prison tablets nationwide. #booksnotbans

At our upcoming book drive, Books for Brews, you will also have the opportunity to register to vote! Our friends at Engaging New Voices and Voters will be on site to help you register, check your registration status, and answer all your voting-related questions.
Big thanks to @tubbyandcoos for donating highly requested book genres and a shelf to make our book packing go smoothly! We appreciate you! ❣️📚
If you are interested in assisting our work please consider donating a book from our wishlist with @tubbyandcoos or signing up for our mailing list at eepurl.com/c-fpdr to learn about volunteer opportunities.
People write to us all the time (see pictures of letters) to personally share how much the books we sent meant to them.
Did you know that not all jails and prisons have libraries or educational programs? And the many restrictions within jails and prisons can make it difficult for people who are locked up to access reading materials.
