On Thursday, April 16 a few of us met in Quincy, MA to volunteer with the Prison Books Program. Prisoners are not allowed to receive any books from family or friends, so they are reliant on volunteer groups approved by the prison system to send them books. It was so rewarding to read prisoners' letters asking for books (on all kinds of topics) and browsing through the "bookstore" to fulfill their requests. Oh, and the bonus of the evening was going inside the crypt of the church to see the tombs of John & Abigail Adams as well as John Quincy & Louisa Adams.
