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
mail books to our post office box without contacting us
first.
NOTE that due
to prison regulations, we can only accept soft cover books
with intact front and back covers. No hard cover 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!

in need of these books:
- Dictionaries
(English and Spanish/English) and Thesauri

guides
- African
and African-American, Asian and Asian-American, Latino/a
and Latin/a-American, and Native-American fiction, history,
