GREENSBURG – The Decatur County Jail is currently in need of reading materials for the inmate population. Any genre of book is acceptable and softcover books are preferred, but book drive organizer and 911 Dispatcher for the Decatur County Sheriff’s Department Heather Stonebraker will gladly accept any donation, either monetary or in hardback books.
Stonebraker is an avid reader with an entire shelf of books she’s already read, but didn’t know what to do with.
“I contacted the jail commander and asked if books were something that the jail would take donations of, so I took them all over there,” Stonebraker said. “I wondered to myself, ‘how can I get more?’ so I started taking donations of books and it went from there.”
