Donate Bibles and Christian books to prisons
Don’t let your Bibles and Christian books collect dust on a shelf. Put them in the hands of people in prison and see how God will use them to change lives.
Christian Library International is in need of new and used Bibles and Christian books to distribute to over 1,600 correctional facilities nationwide. Spanish language Bibles and books are also a huge need.
CLI can take gently used or new Christian books, Bibles, CDs, DVDs and tracts. Spanish materials are also needed. We accept all kinds of Bibles: study, large print, youth and compact. Prisoners read fiction, nonfiction, commentaries, history, biography and on just about any Christian subject. We serve youth detention centers, ages 10 – 18 years old so Christian children’s books with reading levels of 3rd grade and up are welcome.
Christian books are like silent missionaries going into dark and dangerous places. We receive letters each week attesting to changed lives from the people who receive them. Plus, they can be used by many people, impacting countless lives.

A request to our generous book donors
Shipping Christian materials to prisons is expensive. We prayerfully ask that you consider including a check for $25 with your donated books to help defray some of these costs.
