Buy books for detained migrants!

Migrant Support Collective’s Library Program provides free books to migrants detained throughout the United States. 
Each of the below wishlists belongs to a migrant in ICE detention. In honor of Independent Bookstore Week (4/25-5/2), the Hull Family Foundation is offering a $1,000 match for all purchases made through the wishlists on this page! That means that for every $1 you spend on the below wishlists, Migrant Support Collective gets $1 from the Foundation.
This match opportunity is a limited-time event that ends on May 2. Purchase a book from the wishlists below before May 2 to send books to migrants in ICE detention!

While it may seem like a small act, buying a book for someone in detention makes a big difference. Folks who receive books through MSC share them with friends while detained, and sometimes do read-aloud groups. When you purchase a book on these wishlists, you’re not just sending it to one person. You’re sending it to a community.

Shop our wishlists

Each card below is a wishlist for a migrant in ICE detention. After purchasing, books wil ship directly to them. Thanks to bookshop.org, a portion of the proceeds from your purchase will benefit Three Avenues Bookshop, a family-owned bookshop in Chicago. For questions, please contact us and we'll respond as soon as possible.
