Requests come to the committee via committee members visiting the prison, the inmate librarian, and users of the library.

Guidelines for donations: Although we appreciate the generosity that motivates all book donations, we can only accept material that is in good condition and is either (a) fulfilling a specific request or (b) recently published. The EIFW library space is small and we have to be careful about how we fill it!

We can’t use books in poor condition, old magazines, or outdated textbooks. If you are looking for a place to donate this type of material, check out Edmonton Public Library’s book donations page. For information on recycling books, see the City of Edmonton’s recycling directory.
