Last day. The match ends tonight.
We're continuing to reach our goal of $1,000 in books but we're still $350 away. Every dollar you give today still gets doubled.
The requests never stop. Spanish-English dictionaries. GED prep. Legal guides. Job training materials. All from people inside who have limited access to books.
This is it. After today, the match is gone.

Don't miss this opportunity. The match ends May 2.
We've raised close to half the $1,000 match — which means every dollar you give today still gets doubled. A $20 purchase becomes $40 worth of books. A $50 purchase becomes $100.
The requests keep coming. This week: two more Spanish-English dictionaries, another GED math workbook, two commercial driver's license study guides. All from people inside who have limited access to books.
If you've been thinking about it, now's the time. The match ends tomorrow.

👨‍👧 One of the most quietly powerful books on our Prison Library Project wishlist is Fresh Start for Dads by Delonso Barnes.
It's exactly what it sounds like — a guide for fathers reconnecting with their children after incarceration or long absences. 100 copies requested. More than half still needed.
Being a parent doesn't stop when someone goes inside. Neither does the worry, the guilt, or the love.
This week every Bookshop.org wishlist purchase is matched dollar for dollar by a generous donor with a long commitment to books and prison literacy — up to $1,000.
A copy of Fresh Start for Dads costs $15. Right now your $15 becomes $30 worth of books for readers who need them.
Match ends Saturday May 2. Link in bio. 📖
