Our Mandate and Goals
Our mandate is to support prisoners by sending them books for free. Our goals for the coming year are to successfully solicit donations of books from the Regina community, to build productive relationships with jail and prison libraries in the province by stocking them with reading material for prisoners, and to increase the number of active members of the group so that we can eventually begin to solicit requests from individual prisoners for specific books.
We have a three-tiered action plan: First, to let people know about the Books Through Bars project and to build alliances outside prison walls by soliciting donations of books and publicizing the group as widely as possible. Second, to deliver quality books to jail and prison libraries, thereby building alliances inside prison walls. And third, to research the relevant issues and share that research with our communities through articles, educational events, and fundraisers.
