The Prison Book Program is a partner you may not hear that much about but it's an important one for us and one that Better World Books is truly proud to work with. Whether it's us having organized the biggest book drive in Boston this fall (involving me and some co-workers spending two days locked in a Church sorting books) for their benefit or now more recently, shipping them 19 cartons (~23 books in each carton, ~440 total copies) of paperback dictionaries, we do whatever we can to help a most worth cause.
From Pam at PBP:
Thanks again for arranging to get those 19 cartons of paperback
dictionaries to Prison Book Program. These will be an incredible help
to us -- approximately half of the requests from prisoners are for a
dictionary, and normally we have to purchase them in bulk. This
shipment will keep us up to our ears in dictionaries for the
forseeable future!
As always, we value the partnership with Better World Books, and take
every opportunity to sing your praises from the rooftops!
Best regards,
Pam and the whole PBP gang
Here to help, Pam!
