Asheville Prison Books
We are a drop off location for Asheville Prison Books, which responds to book requests from incracerated people in North and South Carolina. Due to prison restrictions, donations need to be paperback and less than two inches thick. The books most needed are dictionaries and fiction written by people of color. We host APB for a volunteer training on third Sundays at 1pm.
