Open Books is a non-profit, volunteer-run bookstore. Proceeds from the sale of books support the Prison Book Project, operating since 2000. The Prison Book Project sends thousands of books each year to indigent inmates in Florida prisons, the largest prison system in the country and one sorely lacking basic books.

Prisoners are isolated in facilities that have insufficient libraries and educational opportunities. We provide these materials to improve the lives of prisoners and to greatly reduce the likelihood of their returning to the prison system. Our communitiesl fare better when prisoners returning to society have had an opportunity to learn, grow, and mature as individuals. Books provide the inspiration and knowledge for that growth.
Prisoners simply have to send us a letter and we send them books. While the Open Books book store has a wide selection of new and used books, the selection that has been donated to the Prison Book Project is limited. We do our best to find something that fits the interests of the prisoner.

We’re a grass-roots project that really works!
