Knowing someone cares can change a life.

From Monday July 8th to Sunday July 14th, bring a book to the PAUSE Pavilion to give to someone living behind bars in Canada. Many prisons don’t have libraries, or have very limited and outdated books. Books help minds expand, discover new perspectives, and help people stay connected with the outside world.

  • Books by Indigenous authors of North America (no anthropological texts about First Nations)
  • Books by Indigenous authors worldwide
  • Books by black writers and other people of colour
  • Books by women and queers
  • Sci-fi!
  • Fiction!
  • General interest in sciences
  • Exercise (including yoga and health),
  • Addiction and recovery
  • Self-help
  • Creative process and art books: drawing, painting, carving and writing
  • Biographies
  • Adventure
  • Popular Fiction
