     11:30 am - 1:30 pm

Books Through Bars (BTB) receives hundreds of book requests from incarcerated individuals each year. For this event, we will be reading some of those letters, choosing books from the BTB library that are a best match, and then packing them with encouraging notes.  Join us for a great afternoon making good.

If you have any queer books around that you are willing to part with, please bring a queer book (or a few) to be donated!

Date: Saturday, May 11
Time: 11:30am–1:30pm
Location: 4722 Baltimore Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19143 (There is a Philly free parking lot right next to the organization.)

COVID-19: Masks are required to be worn to help make our event more accessible for all. If you are feeling sick at the time or have a known COVID exposure, please stay home and we will see you next time!
