About Liberation Library
Liberation Library is a Chicago-based, volunteer-led prison abolition organization. It provides books and youth-led magazines to incarcerated young people in Illinois, including residents of all five state-run youth facilities and multiple county juvenile detention centers. The organization was formed in 2015 in response to calls for educational access for young people in Illinois prisons. Its work supports readers' imagination, leadership skills, self-determination, and connections with communities and outside worlds. Liberation Library emphasizes that readers should have a voice and choice in the books they receive, and it has sent more than 6,200 books inside since its founding. The organization also produces magazines distributed exclusively to incarcerated youth and invites people to donate books, contribute funds, or volunteer.
