Our Inside Books Project wants you to know 2 important things:
1.) Please hold your book donations.
The Texas Prison System has told Inside Books (IBP) to hold any new free book mailings. The prisons and a private E-Tablet vendor have replaced the prison free book program. The E-Tablet program, initially free, will start monetizing their services. The Prison system will reconsider if IBP and others will be allowed to continue sending free books and hopeful letters to prisoners. As an alternative IBP has started successfully reaching out to County Jails to help them create libraries.
2.)There are openings for potential volunteers for the Travis County Del Valley Jail to teach reading, writing, arts, nutrition, exercise, job readiness and other classes.
If your interested please contact our IBP partner, Patricia Schiaffini: psv1990@hotmail.com. Tell her you heard about this from First UU Green Sanctuary Ministry.
