Hi,
I am a correctional library supervisor and Master of Library Science
graduate student.  I joined this list as part of class assignment, but I
also have a professional interest in building a special collection of
adult literacy books for the library where I am working (500 bed,
minimum-security, all male correctional center).  I am also very
interested in supporting the educational programs at my facility.  

I would like to know, from GED, ESL, and/or ABE instructors who work in
corrections:  What books or other media you would like to see in the
correctional library at your facility?  I'm looking for specific titles,
or general types/categories, that would support your educational program
AND be attractive or helpful to adult learners, but still be general
enough to justify purchase in a library that must serve the entire
facility. 

Sincerely, 
M. Gilbert
Arrowhead Correctional Center - General Library
