The projects accept donations of books from Bookstore s and individuals. The project solicits letters from prisoners requesting books, usually by genre or by naming a preferred author. Project volunteers read the letters and reply with a few books taken from the project's collection. There is no cost to prisoners. Generally, all mailing and administration is done by Volunteer labor. Many of the projects are affiliated with a local independent bookstore in their home city, which provides a drop-off place for donors, and sometimes a small supply of books as well. Postage for mailing the books is a major expense that must be met through donations. Often-requested materials include Dictionaries , how-to and educational books, and historical works, especially those focusing African-American , Latino , and Native American history. EXTERNAL LINKS
