WE NEED YOUR BOOKS!!!
Our project depends on donated books to survive. We receive donations from publishers, bookstores and individuals. We will gladly accept new or used paperback books only. We do not accept hardcover or spiral–bound books because most prisons do not allow them. The most requested topics include drug and alcohol recovery issues, English and Spanish language dictionaries, fiction and non–fiction by people of color, queer fiction and non–fiction, abuse issues, health, arts and crafts and mystery/horror novels. If you live in the Twin Cities area, you may drop books off anytime in our donation box located outside Arise Bookstore at 2441 Lyndale Avenue in South Minneapolis. If you live outside the Twin Cities area, you may mail your donations to:
Women's Prison Book Project
c/o Arise Bookstore
2441 Lyndale Ave. S.
Minneapolis, MN 55405
Tell the Post Office that you want to mail your package at media rate. It's much cheaper than first class. Before donating large amounts of books (more than 100), please contact us. This way, we can be prepared to deal with the donation and make sure that we can use the books you give us. If you'd rather make a cash donation, we will be happy to accept it and spend it on books/postage. Make checks payable to the Women's Prison Book Project.
If you or your organization wishes to hold a book drive for WPBP, please see our Book Drive page or contact us.
If you would like to solicit donations from book publishers directly on WPBP's behalf, please see our Publisher Solicitation page.
