Louisiana Books 2 Prisoners is a 100% volunteer effort.

Hi, welcome to Louisiana Books 2 Prisoners!

Our office is not open to walk-in volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering, please join our Mailing List to find out about upcoming trainings and opportunities to support our work.

PLEASE NOTE: We no longer accept book donations at our space.

Please look for information on our website before contacting us. We update the website frequently and all information here is current. Thank you!

Louisiana Books 2 Prisoners is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to sending free reading material to people who are incarcerated. We send thousands of books every year to people who are locked up in jails, prisons, and ICE facilities in Louisiana, Alabama, and Arkansas. LAB2P is run by a small organizing collective, and we have a strong base of awesome volunteers who help make it all possible.

Important updates are posted here on the sticky pad to the right of this page. To get updates emailed to you, you can join our mailing list. We usually send out about 4 updates a year.

For info on requesting books,  click here. Please note that we don’t accept book requests online, but we have a book request form you can print out and give to your loved ones inside which has all the information people need to write to us. (The form is optional; we just thought it would be nice for people to have.)
