Turn the Page Maine works with each jail to provide books they indicate are needed and wanted. We fulfill those requests by ordering books to be delivered directly to the jail.
We are an all-volunteer organization and, with the exception of administrative costs like annual filing fees and insurance, every dollar donated is used to buy books.
"Thanks to Turn the Page Maine book donations, our residents are reading more, which is productive, educational, and rehabilitative. There are big smiles from the residents when their requested books are available on the book carts. They are so appreciative of these donations."
