Liberation Library Is Pushing for Prison Abolition, One Book at a Time" 
Amid protests for racial equality and police reform, many Americans have called for the dismantling of systemically racist structures within our society. For some, that work begins with defunding (or abolishing) the police and other forces behind the largest private-prison population in the world and investing in community-led solutions instead. Liberation Library, a nonprofit organization that sends books to incarcerated youth in Illinois, is one group behind that effort.

Our COVID-19 Response
In light of the concerns surrounding COVID-19, for the safety of our volunteers and in our efforts to continue social distancing, we have temporarily suspended our packing days. 
​
We will continue to fill out orders internally until further notice.

Learn more about our COVID Response and partnership with local Chicago bookstores here. ​
