3000 books leave Liverpool Hope University destined for HMPLiverpool (Walton Gaol)
The Creative Campus is busy yet again delivering another project that reflects the social justice agenda of the School of Creative and Performing Arts. As part of the HMP2Hope Applied Arts Project (created by Dr Gary Anderson and Dr Niamh Malone) which has been running for 4 years in partnership with HMPLiverpool and HMPRisley, 3000 books have been generously donated by Hope staff, students and associates to enhance the very limited book collection at HMPLiverpool library. These books will play an important part in helping the prisoners’ educational achievement while incarcerated. They will also be a valuable resource for the men engaged in the HMP2Hope programme.
Drs Anderson and Malone would like to thank all those who donated books and especially the Hope staff which supported the logistics of the project. They would like to thank Chris Hitchen, Dave Kerry, and Natalie Dermott. A special thank you to Ms Amy Courtenay for completing the mammoth task of cataloguing the books.
