Books Through Bars is a Philadelphia-based nonprofit organization dedicated to sending free books and educational resources to incarcerated individuals. Operating for nearly 40 years, the organization addresses the significant barriers to access educational materials faced by many people in prison due to limited library resources and funding cuts to vocational training programs.

Each year, Books Through Bars receives thousands of book requests from incarcerated individuals, supported by a network of volunteers who manage various tasks from data entry to book organization. The organization emphasizes that each book sent not only provides knowledge but also serves as a reminder that those outside the prison system care about their well-being and personal growth.
