[personal] Beyond 4 Walls Book Drive

[fabby]

Most of you know about my involvement with the SHU (Special Handling Unit) girls at Nidorf Juvenile Hall. I've been working with them for almost a year now and it has been a truly enriching experience. There's T, an avid reader who loves Maya Angelou and who recently requested Shakespeare's Sonnets; J, who is on book 5 of the Harry Potter series

I think it's so fantastic that you're doing this! I'll be sending you some books soon.

This Kate P. from b.org, by the way. *waves* I'm taking a class this semester in library services to underserved populations, and I've been especially fascinated by programs that serve incarcerated people and kids & teens in juvenile centers. I'd love to talk to you more about your work there!

Yay, books!
