Claremont’s Prison Library Project, which sends books to incarcerated people around the nation, recently announced it received more than 10,400 letters requesting books and educational materials and mailed over 17,300 books to incarcerated readers in all 50 states in 2025.

“We responded to more requests and reached more readers than ever before,” wrote Claremont Forum Board of Directors President Rachel McDonnell in a new release. “That growth reflects the commitment of our volunteers, staff, and donors. Your support made it possible to manage thousands of requests, coordinate shipments, and make sure books reached the people asking for them.”
