Question: Prison libraries directory

Is there a master list that contains the contact information of all U.S. prison libraries? I need this for the purpose of donating books to prison libraries.

Answer: Prison libraries directory

While there is not a list for every local, state and federal prison, a directory of state prison librarians is available, though last updated in 2004 from the Maryland Correctional Educational Libraries site.

You might also be interested in contacting the Prison Library Project and Books Through Bars.

For a list of books to prisoners programs visit the Books 4 Prisoners Crew website at http://www.freewebs.com/books4prisoners/resourceslinks.htm.
