  • Books Through Bars - January 13, 2024

    On Saturday, January 13th ASCE YMF participated in a group session at Books Through Bars focused on providing books and educational resources to people in prison. The seven volunteers were divided into two groups. The "pickers" group read though letters from inmates and searched the two floor library for the perfect match. The "packers" group took the books, packed them, and handwrote a letter for the inmate. Each volunteer prepared about three packages and saw requests ranging from zombie thrillers to mechanical engineering and business. The group of volunteers then enjoyed lunch at Loco Pez.
