Public Defender Book Drive

Your old books can be someone's new horizon!

Got books? Inviting you to participate in our ongoing book drive, an initiative dedicated to enriching the lives of incarcerated individuals across the nation. By donating books, you can provide a vital resource that supports education and personal growth within state and federal prison libraries.

Let's turn the page to a new chapter of hope and opportunity for those who need it most. This initiative is more than a book drive—it's a collective effort to build a more inclusive and supportive society.

"We nonprofits work hard to solicit donations, yet here you are, offering support unbidden. I can't fully express our gratitude. Your gift of books is invaluable, but just as meaningful is the encouragement of knowing we are not alone in this world."

“A book in your hands can become a lifeline in someone else’s. Help us fill prison libraries with knowledge, hope, and the power to dream beyond the walls—because every book is a chance to change the story."
