Are you looking for a meaningful gift to give your friends and family this holiday season?
Why not consider buying a book to send to an inmate in an Illinois prison or jail in honor of your loved one? Urbana Champaign Books to Prisoners will use your donation to buy books to add to the Champaign County Jail Library or to send to an inmate in an Illinois prison.

Are you looking for a meaningful gift to give your friends and family this holiday season?
Why not consider buying a book to send to an inmate in an Illinois prison or jail in honor of your loved one? Urbana Champaign Books to Prisoners will use your donation to buy books to add to the Champaign County Jail Library or to send to an inmate in an Illinois prison.
Your gift will bring hope to a person spending the holidays in prison, as well as help Books to Prisoners meet the specific requests we have a difficult time filling from our current collection. In particular, dictionaries, fiction and poetry by African-American authors, and biographies of African-American leaders fly off of the shelves in the county jail and from the collection of books we send to inmates.
When you give your gift, we will provide a unique card for your loved one telling them about the gift you gave in their honor as well as explaining the mission of Books to Prisoners.

We are in dire need of dictionaries right now. If you can clean out you bookshelves, please drop off books in the lobby of the downtown Urbana Post Office / IMC.
We will be using the Alternative Gift money to buy dictionaries as well. Thanks!
