Volunteer Opportunity Details:

For the last 35 years we have been sending books to incarcerated individuals around the country. Help us by coming to a volunteer night and answering some requests, or wrap some packages, or shelve book donations. If you like us, you could also think about fundraising and book acquisition.

Being able to read is pretty essential. A familiarity with authors and subjects can be helpful. It also helps to be a little open-minded!
Volunteers under 18 should have written permission from their parents; under 16 might want to bring along an adult the first time.
Court-ordered community service people need to provide phone number, address, nature of the infraction, number of hours needed.
