Interview with Avi Steinberg, author of RUNNING THE BOOKS
Today I have for you an interview with Avi Steinberg, former prison librarian and author of the great new memoir
Running the Books.
The book details his time working at Boston's Suffolk County House of Corrections, as well as his life and experiences as an Orthodox Jew as they relate to his time in the big house.
In the interview, Steinberg discusses what lead him to become a prison librarian, some of the challenges he faced, and how his yeshiva upbringing informed the approach he took in this very different library setting.
