Wish List

While we receive many wonderful donated books, we are often short on subjects that prisoners are asking for. We update our wish list as often as possible to try and keep up with demand- check it out!

Today is #GivingTuesday

November 29, 2016November 29, 2016 ~ Big House Books ~ Leave a comment

Today we are celebrating the spirit of giving by packing books at our HQ in Jackson today from 5pm-7pm. Join us.

Our Giving Tuesday fundraising goal is $500- enough to send more than 125 packages of 3 books each before the holidays. You can help by sharing our campaign and giving if you are able. Huge thanks to Robin, Emily and Whitney for getting us to 30% of our goal so far!
