DONATE

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 youth partners. ​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.
