During the birdsite's heyday, it was a place where we engaged with other people who cared about sending #books to incarcerated #readers. We followed and retweeted #prison book programs in the US, Canada, UK, and France. We also chatted with many of our volunteers and supporters.
We love Mastodon, but are finding it a bit lonely. We would love to follow other groups that send books to people in #prisons. Does anyone have recommendations for whom we should follow?
Boosts welcome.

Book Promotion: Since the tragedy of 1994, Agency Division have weilded their authority over matters arcane with relative impunity. Enforcers like Vidcund Därk, collectively known as the Men in Black, serve a single purpose - the absolute eradicaton of magic and those who would use it. This is not an uncommon goal - a group of rogue arcanists known as the Grey Angels have much the same outcome in mind. When a respected mathematics professor obtains a translated copy of the Pnakotic Manuscripts, the hunt is on to determine how he got hold of it. But soon, a bigger crisis unfolds - one that Agency Division can’t keep under wraps.

"Terry LaBan is a #Philadelphia-based #cartoonist who has #published #comicbook series, had internationally #syndicated strips and, at the end of 2024, published “Mendel the Mess-Up,” a #children’s #graphicnovel that tells the story of a boy who works to save his Eastern European village from the Cossacks.
“Mendel the Mess-Up,” distributed by Penguin Random House, is rooted in his grandfather’s experience, but not based on it.
LaBan is critically acclaimed and popular with #readers young and old, but sometimes, inspiration strikes him in the same way it strikes anyone else: simply."

Hello #Tech-loving #Readers in the #fediverse. I have a question :
My niece turns 16 soon. She is a fanatic reader and she's smart, good at languages. She's not in a "nerd bubble", but I would not be surprised if she would actually enjoy learning to code a lot.
As a birthday present, I would therefore like to give her a good #book (English or dutch) that may inspire her to consider learning to code.
Any suggestions?
