Donate a Blank Book
Natalie Bennett in Chicago volunteers with a group that supplies Books to Women in Prison. The organization is dreadfully low on blank books for journaling, and they get a LOT of requests for them. The women who request them appreciate the journals more than one could ever imagine.
She is asking for members of bookarts community to make a donation of handmade books to be used as journals. The only stipulation is: no hardcovers. Cereal box-weight cardboard is fine. If you send hardcovers-especially mass market ones that you might have handy-they will remove the cover and make a new paper cover.
You can send the books to:

Chicago, IL 60613
