Feb. 22: Books Through Bars fundraiser at Dock Street

POSTED: Monday, February 20, 2012, 4:45 PM

This Wednesday, Feb. 22, Dock Street (701 S. 50th St.) will be hosting a fundraiser to raise money for West Philly-based Books Through Bars, an organization that puts printed material in the hands of incarcerated men and women. As it turns out, dictionaries are one of the most frequently requested reads from those living behind bars, and Dock Street wants to help prisoners with access. Ten dollars at the door gets you a beer and a slice of pizza, and it gets BTB one bound dictionary. The event gets started at 8:30 p.m., with live entertainment from Sourmash and Cask & Co. kicking off at 9.
