NV-Cure Bookdrive to ESP completed! Thank you!

The NV-CURE Book Drive for ESP was completed on 4/2/16. The Icelady brought the books she gathered in the North down to William in Vegas. William combined them with the books-gather in Vegas. Laurie drove the books to Ely and delivered the books (13 boxes of paperback books) the Associate Warden at ESP.

Congratulations people and a big that you for the help - particularly to Icelady, William and Laurie. Good job done. The guys in solitary, and those who are forced to share a cell with another man for long hours per day, will appreciate them.

Our next goal for our book drive will be the women's prison, FMWCC.

Nevada Cure NNCC Book Drive for the library!

Attention all NV-CURE Members and Supporters:

NV-CURE is in the process of gathering books to donate to the NDOC for prisoners at the Northern Nevada Correctional Center (NNCC). 

--> All books must be paperback.  NO HARD COVERS.

Anyone with books to donate should contact:

Southern Nevada:

Kim,  [email protected], SUBJECT: NNCC BOOK DRIVE-KIM, or

Northern Nevada:

Marie,  [email protected], SUBJECT: NNCC BOOK DRIVE-MARIE

(or phone Nevada Cure at 702.347.1731)

When the NDOC approves the donations, which may take 6-8 weeks, all Southern donated books will be transported to Marie in the North and Marie will coordinate the book drop off with NNCC Officials.

Thank you for your help. The people at this medical facility are in need of books to read to help pass the time.  Again, thank you.

DONATE BOOKS NOW.  Do not be late.

Nevada-Cure Book Drive!

We have started a Book-Drive to get the libraries of the prisons in Nevada filled with some new or some more books for those incarcerated.Books form a very welcome and helpful way of educating, diffusing tension and giving a mental boost to people who are locked up.

Some prisoners have been locked up in solitary confinement for 23 to 24/7 since extremely long time (years...).

The libraries are not a priority of NDOC, nor is education or rehabilitation high on the agenda of NDOC. Yet, libraries need fresh streams of books from time to time in order to keep their goals.

You can help us with the book drive:

Anyone with books to donate to NDOC prisones should contact KIM at (702) 378-1217 and arrange for her to pick-up or take delivery of the books to be donated. She is handling the book donation drive for NV-CURE. Please contact Kim as soon as possible. If you cannot reach her, email [email protected].

This book drive has been a long and drawn out project - and we need to get books to the prisoners as soon as possible.

Thank you for your help.

What kind of books?

Paperbacks are best, because from hardbacks covers will be taken.
Non-fiction: languages, dictionaries, history books and politics, religions. Healthcare books, medical books, spiritual books, etc.
Spanish books, African American books, etc.
