Prison Library

WOW!    Thanks to you all, the library at the Montgomery Women’s Facility has a great beginning. We now have 220 books in circulation and another 100 (hardback books), which will be added after the library building is finished. We allow the ladies to keep a book for one week, and then they may check out another. Anna and I stand at a counter where a line forms to check in books; then the line forms again to check out a book. We are moving so fast and furiously to keep up that we get very warm and often have to shed outer layers!  The ladies are so excited about getting a new book to read that they often crowd in around us. We enjoy their excitement most of the time but you know  how hot-natured I am!!!  Today one of the ladies brought us ice water (you can smile right here). I am glad to staff the library,  but we’re glad when it is over. Every week the ladies tell us how grateful they are to have this library; they recognize how much work it is for us, but their appreciation makes it all worthwhile.

Donna and Anna

We bargain shop for books about once a week at thrift stores, Christian book stores, CBD, retail store sales and the local used book store. We almost have the Left Behind and Mitford series completed. We could not have been this far along without your help, and I want you to know we appreciate every book you sent.  The team that came for the We Care Crusade brought some more books for us. Thank-you.

Just as a side note, I want you to know that I have enjoyed praying with you as you used the church prayer book for January. I prayed that each of you will be encouraged  knowing others are praying for you to be built up in the faith.

God is good, and I praise Him for His goodness to me.

Much Love,

Donna
