Tonight, April 4, at 7pm The Inside Books Project will kick off their spring work party at The Rhizome Collective located at 300 Allen Street 78702.
The Inside Books Project is a volunteer and donation based organization that supplies Texas inmates with free books. It’s a fact that prisoners who educate themselves while incarcerated have a lower rate of recidivism (returning to prison), and Inside Books aims to supply prisoners with knowledge that will help make their reentry into society smoother, and help them to participate in the society to which they return. The IBP’s workload is almost inconceivable when you consider that Texas ranks as one of the leading incarcerators in the nation with inadequate or non-existent libraries at the prisons that house our inmates. The IBP receives about 900 requests a month.
The work party is a chance for you to come and see what Inside Books is all about, help with backlogged letters, match requests, and just have a good time — they will have live music and drinks tonight and will work into the wee hours of the night. Saturday and Sunday work will get started around 11 am and brunch will be served. The party comes to a close at midnight on Sunday.
