Volunteer
Donate Books
In Person - PAUSED
The UA Poetry Center will be temporarily closed from December 14 - January 5, 2026. Please hold onto your donations until they re-open.
Thank you!
Online
We maintain an Amazon Wishlist of popular, highly requested book and unique books that are rarely donated. Help us keep our library filled and up to date.
Postage and Materials
As an all volunteer run organization with no paid staff, our biggest cost is postage and packing materials to be able to send the books to people who request them. Making a cash donation allows us to meet our mission and get books to our loved ones in Arizona prisons.
