Red Letter Day
Today was an excellent day. It started off with the unexpected arrival of a set of three books from the wish list, courtesy of coworker Susan S. These how-to job hunting book are highly sought after - remember that a very large number of prisoners are operating with low functional literacy, which means they don’t know how to deal with things like finding a job, balancing a checkbook, renting an apartment. Getting a job with a felony record isn’t an easy task anyway, so any help is deeply appreciated.
Later I got a care package from friend of the program St. George’s Books, containing a week’s supply of assorted hardcovers.
Big thanks go out to both donors, you’re helping us reach our 2008 goal of 1,000 books donated!
