Last night Teen Daughter brought me along to her volunteer gig at Pages to Prisoners. It's my kind of volunteering. I don't interact with anyone at all. I read letters from prisoners requesting books. I
walk around collecting any books that look remotely similar to the request. I write a letter to the prisoner telling him about the books I've chosen, adding a few cheery
sentiments at the endbit. Then I pack the books up for mailing and start again. The only frustrating thing about the gig is that the book selection is not that great. There's a bookstore right next to the Pages to Prisoners project so it was
tempting to just go next door and buy books for the incarcerated readers. But Teen Daughter said that we should just stick with the program. We'll probably do it again soon. If you have any books you don't need, consider donating to Pages to Prisoners. It will make my job a lot easier.

i wonder if they'll announce it during the school day. gonna have to make a big deal about that with sixers and cincos.
They said they want the donations to come during volunteer hours, so if you ever have anything you want to donate, just give em to us and we'll bring them there.
i donated 5 books this week and the facilitator thought they were v. good. they're supposed to be newish.
