In light of the concerns surrounding COVID-19, for the safety of our volunteers and in our efforts to continue social distancing, we have decided to fill our orders internally until further notice.

During this uncertain time, we at Liberation Library believe it is now even more important for incarcerated young people to have access to other worlds of their choosing. For this reason, we will even be sending each reader an additional book with their order. 

We ask that you continue checking our Eventbrite page and social media for future events as we monitor the situation in the coming weeks. If you would like to extend virtual support at this time, consider ordering from our wishlist, as we will be updating it regularly.

Thank you for supporting Liberation Library. ​

As a volunteer-run organization, we rely on your generous donations. Your donations help us cover the costs of purchasing, packing, and shipping books to our readers. ​Please consider supporting us!
  • $5,500 pays for rent for our Library for the entire year 
  • $500 pays for shipping the books for an entire year 
  • $100 pays for a series like the Midnight Series by Sister Souljah, one of our most popular authors 
  • $25 pays for two books like Bronxwood and Tyrell by Coe Booth, two of our most popular titles 
  • $10-$15 pays for a paperback book of a young person' choice, and access to the world of their choosing

Send books for our youth

We pride ourselves on providing youth participants with the books of their choice. This requires that we maintain a fairly large inventory. Please help us to keep our most requested books in stock. 

Mail in gently used books​

We are currently only accepting donations that can be found on our wishlist. If you have any of these titles in paperback, and they are new or gently used, you can mail them to us.
​If your books are not on our list we recommend reaching out to Chicago Books to Women in Prison, or Open Books.
