Portland Books to Prisoners mailing nights happen on Mondays & Tuesdays 5-8pm at 1112 NE Morton, between Dekum and Ainsworth.
If folks want to get involved, but can't make mailing nights, there are lots of other volunteer tasks that need to be done, and book donations are always welcome.

*****************
1112 N Morton is just east of MLK Jr. Blvd, and west of NE 15th.
To get there, take buslines #75 or #8 to Dekum, and go south on Bellevue, Durham or 13th to Morton, which is a short street that connects all three.

Also there are drop boxes all over town at the following locations:

* Laughing Horse Books, 10 NE 8th Ave (north of E. Burnside)
* In Other Words Books 8 NE Killingsworth, (at N. Williams)
* Rocco's Pizza SW 10th & Oak

* Food For Thought Cafe, PSU Smith Hall Food Court (basement)

Our most common requests are for dictionaries and thesauruses, as prisoners work to educate themselves. We are primarily looking for donations of books with educational content; including his/herstory, black studies, indigenous studies, latina/o studies, feminism, queer studies, foreign language learning, materials in Spanish and radical fiction. We do not want old textbooks (unless they're law or GED workbooks, math or basic science, and not hardcover), and we really don't need cookbooks, or old computer books.

*****************
