The Pozen Center Human Rights Lab at the University of Chicago is hosting a book drive for students incarcerated at Stateville Correctional Center. The donated books will go to individual students and the Prison+Neighborhood Arts Project and the University Without Walls Resource Room at Stateville. Donate by dropping off gently used book donations in the Pozen Center Human Rights Lab, the CSRPC Community Room, SSA East Lower Level, or Taft House between 9am-5pm, or donate online through this Seminary Co-op wishlist!

At this time, the book drive is only seeking gently used:

Collegiate dictionaries and thesauruses 
Encyclopedias (we are only accepting full sets published after the year 2010)
Foreign language-English dictionaries
Foreign language instruction books
Writing instruction books (all genres including grant writing, technical writing, and forms of creative writing)
How-to instruction books on nonprofit management and entrepreneurship

Access to books for incarcerated students is at the heart of the Freedom to Learn Campaign IL. Please help support these students at Stateville!
