Inside Books 10 Year Anniversary Fund raising Drive
*Dear Friends of the Inside Books Project,*
It may be the dog days of summer, but here at Inside Books we've got
reason to celebrate! This August marks our Tenth Anniversary sending free
books and educational materials to prisoners all over Texas.
Back in 1998,
Inside Books started as a handful of volunteers working out of a now
demolished warehouse to get Texas inmates, the majority of whom are
non-violent offenders, reading materials that they desperately needed and
prison libraries sorely lacked.
Ten years and over 100,000 books later,
we've grown into a unique non-profit, all-volunteer organization working
hard to answer around 800 letters a month from Texas prisoners.
As we get ready for the next ten years (and we're in this for the long
haul!), we need your support now more than ever.
That means a lot of
things: paperback books, dictionaries, your volunteer time, and, especially,
money.
We have hundreds of packages ready to be sent out, but we don't have
the money for postage.
We rely almost entirely on donations from
individuals, and we don't waste a cent.
Heck, to save money, we don't even
have air conditioning!

At the above website (and at the end of this email) you'll find our
address where we can receive checks or money orders, how to donate with
Paypal, or, best of all, how to enroll in our Sustainer Program.
For an all
volunteer non-profit, ten years is a long time, and we can't thank everyone
enough for supporting us.
Your work really does help to educate, to provide
hope, and to change lives.
Looking forward to the next ten years,
John Nation and Bob Libal, Inside Books Project Volunteers
