Freebird book drive for NYC Books Through Bars
While NYC Books Through Bars operating out of Freebird's basement is currently limiting in-person volunteering and drop offs due to COVID-19, book requests continue to pour in from prisons around the country: nearly 300 per week. In response to the challenges of accepting those donations during the pandemic, we have started a monthly program in which specific, in-demand titles can be purchased through Freebird at a discount.
November's pick for NYC Books Through Bars
is a bundle focused on reference books, crafts, and games. Purchase copies of five works for $30 and Freebird will match each order with an additional dictionary--(total of six books and a collective savings of 35% off retail): a holiday care package for incarcerated readers that will include sudoku challenges, word games, origami instruction, a coloring book, and the always in demand dictionary and thesaurus. PLEASE NOTE that these books will be sent to NYC Books Through Bars to fulfill requests from incarcerated readers at prisons nationwide.
