If your like me you have TONS of books lying around. I am kind of a book hoarder. Most anything else I am more than happy to pack off and ship to the Salvation Army or any other place that will take my clutter. Books though hold a sacred place in my heart.
There are some things that can make even this book hoarder relinquish her impressive supply. Hubs dear little brother is a sweet, sweet boy. He would give you the very shirt off this back. Unfortunately, he ran into some trouble and is serving a pretty long sentence in prison.
We miss little brother very much. When we talk with him one of his common complaints is the lack of reading material in the prison library. Little brother wants to change his life. He wants to learn things so that he can leave the system with direction and knowledge. Unfortunately, Hubs and I are not allowed to send him books.
By the grace of God I got an email from one of the ladies in my homeschooling group. The email put a call out for paperback books to stock prison libraries! The program is currently in need of paperbacks in the following categories:
How to books (woodworking, plumbing, gardening, car mechanics, small motor repair, etc.)
GED prep
