Would you die without books?

Die for books

In the prison branches of the State Library we have a form titled "Please Tell Us..." that allows the inmates to tell us what the library and its services mean to them. How does the library, its collections and staff, make a difference in their lives?

To date, the best response that I have ever received was the following statement:

"I would die in here without books, thanks."
