Access to books in prisons plays an important role in the rehabilitation of incarcerated individuals by helping to build their literacy and education level. With budget cuts and limited resources, prison libraries are in dire need of books. Please help stock their shelves by participating in this book drive from Monday, Nov. 13, through Friday, Nov. 17.
The HVCC Honors College is proud to be collaborating with Russell Sage College, Siena College, NYU, Columbia University and the NYS Department of Correction and Community Supervision in this important cause. Donations of books from the college community and beyond are kindly appreciated to support this collaborative effort.
New or gently-used books are appreciated. Please no textbooks, magazines or encyclopedias.
