We hope you'll join us for the Books Through Bars 2008 Pack-a-thon on Sunday, May 18th.

The Pack-a-thon is a day-long "packing party". Participants collect pledges to help with the postage costs of the books they'll mail. It's a fun way to raise funds and get caught up on the huge number of book requests we receive from prisoners and prison libraries.

You can participate for an hour or two (or more!) any time during the day. As always, we'll provide good music, great food, and door prizes.

Postage rates are going up again in May, so we need each volunteer to raise at least $10 per hour they plan to participate. You can download a participant packet to help with your fundraising, including a Books Through Bars fact sheet and pledge form, at

If you want to participate in this year's Pack-a-thon, please let us know! RSVP at info at booksthroughbars.org .

If you can't attend the Pack-a-thon, you can still help out! Make a pledge towards the Pack-a-thon (you can donate online at http://www.booksthroughbars.org/get-involved/donate-money) or donate books (see our list of needed books and donation times at http://www.booksthroughbars.org/get-involved/donate-books).
