Sorry! Though we are open today (Saturday, December 6) till 5 pm, we had to take one more day off post Thanksgiving. But back next weekend, December 13-14!
Peter the pooch says please hold off on bringing books in until December 6-7. But Happy Thanksgiving!   We look ahead to 2026 with the release of the latest World Almanac. Please help Books Through Bars restock this high demand title for the coming months. $30 purchases 3 almanacs (45% off retail)* Every year we do a push for the latest almanac--next to dictionaries and comic books the most requested item by incarcerated readers. With the 2026 edition of the World Almanac and Book of Facts soon to pub, we hope you can help us match last year's tally (630). For readers starved of news outside their walls, an almanac provides necessary context of the contemporary scene.We also want to thank everyone who contributed to our last bundle, featuring Dover titles: your generosity we will be able to send out another 732 books (principally art instruction) to prisons nationwide! *Each purchased bundle will be delivered directly to Books Through Bars so that they can fulfill requests from incarcerated readers.
