Inside Books Project

I began volunteering at another Austin nonprofit which offers free books to prisoners incarcerated in Texas. You receive a written letter from an inmate with a specific book request. The Inside Books Project has its own volunteer-driven library that collects donated books.

You pick books to send to the requesters with personalized letters. It’s really hard and inspiring work to help those incarcerated find moments of peace. You are the mindful messenger. No clicks involved.
