Thomas Maloney, Library - Columbia Correctional Institution

Can you imagine a maximum security inmate studying Biblical Hebrew! As a Prison Librarian, I do my best to assist this young man in identifying appropriate materials for his studies. His friends and family on the outside then purchase the textbooks, and send them to him in prison. He is quite a serious student. I hope that his perseverance, and dedication to learning inspires other prisoners to explore academic subjects. His academic work keeps him out of trouble, and enriches his mind. My role is to encourage, and support this type of activity to the best of my ability.
