We’ve kicked off our book drive for Prison Books Collective this year. PBC sends books to folks incarcerated in North Carolina and Alabama. We can only accept paperback books, as required by prisons, and cannot take books with markings or highlighting, nudity, content related to gangs or tattooing.
