The book drive, organized by students at St. Thomas University, raised over 250 books to provide to incarcerated women at the Nova Institute in Truro. Contributedin Fredericton were recently given an assignment they hope will help young, incarcerated women in Truro., which is one of only five prisons across the country exclusive to women.
Reid gave her students an assignment to put themselves in the shoes of the incarcerated youth, asking them — if they were in a similar situation, with limited access to the outside world, what would they read? “Some of the feedback was just fantastic,” said MacEachern. “That someone is thinking of them in that way, especially a fellow young person, who just found themselves on a different path in life and is at St. Thomas.”Reid was a little uncertain at first about what some of her students had picked for books to donate.
"That’s such great thinking. So 'out of the box' and from the heart. I was very excited to see them do that kind of work.” “That’s the utility of this book team. They’re scanning not only for a view of what they’re finding interesting and helpful but also with a peer lens.”
