2025 was a very productive and prosperous year for BTP! 


Some of our favorite highlights:

  • We will have welcomed about 350 volunteers, donating around 8000hrs

  • We grew our successful partnerships with 7 independent bookstores

  • We hired a new Program Coordinator

  • We caught up from being 5 months behind in Jan to being about a month and a half behind now 

  • A fine reading by Board member Anne in Issaquah brought renewed interest to 'Dear Books to Prisoners', a sequel to which we hope to publish in 2026

  • We brought together all the prison book programs from the Canadian border to northern Oregon  for the first time, in November. 

  • Board member Michelle appeared on the True Crime Tonight podcast (listen on iheartradio or spotify)

  • We featured in articles in Publisher's Weekly and WWU's The Front

  • Michelle also contributed a piece on prison censorship to Book Riot

  • We began training volunteers on sorting and shelving book donations, shout out to our Monday shelving crew!!
