Results from our 2011-2012 Holiday Book Drive
Thank you to everyone who donated or shared this unique donation opportunity with friends, families and colleagues. The feeling of sharing these brand new books with detained youth is almost indescribable, but we hope to soon bring you some stories from volunteers.

We did run into a small issue this year. Amazon has changed their privacy policy so that we do not have information in regards to who donated to our book drive. If you received an inquiry from Amazon regarding your donation, please contact us directly by email: ucla.booksbeyondbars [at] gmail.com!

Also, it's never too late to donate! Our Amazon wish list will still be posted and updated throughout the year.

Thanks again everyone!

    Books Beyond Bars

    Mission statement.

    Books Beyond Bars (formerly the Nidorf Collective) consists of graduate students, faculty, and alumni from UCLA's Department of Information Studies that are committed to bringing high-interest books to young people living at the Barry J. Nidorf Juvenile Detention Center. Our volunteers organize book drives and conduct weekly book-talking groups where they lead discussions about books and give out reading materials for the youth to keep.
