Tomorrow I'm going to jail

Well, sort of. I'm registering there so I can volunteer for the UC Books to Prisoners project. Besides supplying inmates with specific book requests, the program is now sponsoring a lending library at the local county jail staffed by volunteers twice a week. My first stint doesn't come up until later in October, but tomorrow is training day for newbies like me. I learned about this opportunity from Senior English teacher Suzanne Linder, who has been one of the project's movers and shakers since its inception. For obvious reasons, you have to be at least 21 to volunteer at the prison, but there are other ways to help out!
