Liberation Library is a volunteer-based group in Chicago that provides books to youth in prison to encourage imagination, self-determination and connection to the outside worlds of their choosing. We believe books and relationships empower young people to change the criminal justice system. We currently partner with all five Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice's facilities: IYC Harrisburg, IYC

☀Annual summer BBQ was a blast thanks to our community of volunteers and loved ones. Thank you to everyone that continues to invest in our mission and vision of a world without prisons or police. A world that still includes smashed potato salad, spades, and birthday cake.

As our organization grows, so does our capacity and commitment to practice abolition with each other. 🩋
