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.
September's pick for NYC Books Through Bars
is a bundle focused on Africanfuturism, Lovecraftian horror, and a classic of music history: Nnedi Okorafor’s Hugo Award-winning novel Binti, Victor LaValle’s The Ballad of Black Tom, and Jeff Chang's acclaimed study of hip-hop music and culture, Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop. These are being offered at 35% off their retail price. Please note that these books will be sent to NYC Books Through Bars to fulfill requests from incarcerated readers at prisons nationwide.
