[Publib] Library Program in Jail

[Burns, Megan]

Hi
 
We lend books to the local mens and womens jails on a monthly basis. It works in much the same way as our resthome service. We issue 3-4 crates worth of books to a lib card and then these are picked up from a set library by prison staff. They are returned 4 weeks later and exchanged for a new set. The prison gets to detail what types of books they would prefer and how many of those books they want.

This one may have been brought up before, but if so I do not recall it.
Have any of you out there in Library-Land ever started any sort of
program in your local jail/detention center? If so could you please
share some details?
Thanks!
Miranda
