The Carbondale 3R's project has grown in recent months. In the Fall of 2014, staff from four correctional facilities visited the Carbondale Public Library storage building and the 3R's book room at First Christian Church in Carbondale to choose reading materials. On December 9th, the Vienna Correctional Center selected 5 boxes worth of books; on December 11th, the Illinois Youth Center-Harrisburg chose 7 boxes of books and 1 box of magazines; on December 19th, Big Muddy Correctional Center obtained 13 boxes of books and 1 box of magazines. The same day, Pinckneyville Correctional Center, the newest facility to join the Carbondale 3R's project, chose 4 boxes of books. Invitations have also been extended to Vandalia Correctional Center and Shawnee Correctional Center in Vienna to visit the 3R's project in Carbondale in Spring, 2015.
