Manitoba Library Association

Happy to see MLA’s Prison Libraries Committee featured in La Liberté, highlighting this year’s upcoming book drive supporting people incarcerated in Manitoba and their families.

"In prison, a book represents more than a pastime: it is a window to the outside world, a vital access to information, or even a rare link to one's language and culture."
