I came across this on Alexandra Sokoloff's Blog. Alexandra has been a champion of the Teen Spot Reviews Program, so I am happy to pass on the good word.
There are plenty of places to doante books, and this seems like a worthy cause. I know that in some states the court system does not encourage prison libraries - I'm glad these folks are making an effort to address the problems of their young offenders, not just lock them up.
Donate books to the LA Juvenile Court System:
ATTENTION: READERS, AUTHORS, PUBLISHERS AND BOOKSELLERS:
Barry J. Nidorf Juvenile Hall in
"In collaboration with UCLA Department of Library and Information Science, we are in the process of developing a LIBRARY to provide these juveniles with a range of reading materials to instill hope, increase literacy, and combat the boredom of incarceration.
We are looking for individuals and organizations able to DONATE BOOKS, LIBRARY SUPPLIES and FUNDS. (NOTE: These donations would be tax-deductible.")
Make a difference in the lives of our at-risk youth!
Please send materials to:

Or call (818) 364-5505 for more information.
