Hello Books2Prisoners people:

I am currently teaching a course \"Literacy, Reading and Readers\" at the
Graduate School of Library and Information Science.  This is a distance
education (aka LEEP) class in which all students in the program come to
campus once a semester and spend a full day with their class and
instructor.   The Books to Prisoners program would be right on target for
much of what we have been reading and discussing and I am writing to see if
there might be someone there who could visit our class and
introduce/describe the program to my students.



The class will be spending all day Sunday, March 4th, together at the LIS
Building (501 E. Daniel--\"kitty-corner\" across from the McKinley
Foundation) and I am hoping that someone from Books2Prisoners could come and
talk to the class some time between 10 and 1 that day for about 30-45
minutes + 10 minutes for questions.



They are a lively class of 30 students who live in locations throughout the
U.S. (including Alaska), plus one student from Japan, who will become
librarians when they graduate.  Many already work in libraries, but others
are lawyers, journalists, teachers, social workers, and other lines of
work.  They range in age from their 20s to their 50s.



I apologize for the short notice in asking, but hope to hear from you soon.



Sincerely,

Christine Jenkins
