Like any library, the bookshelves overseen by Dennice Alexander draw visitors with diverse literary tastes.
Requests for everything from philosophy books to “The Art of Sculling” reach Alexander’s desk, which is filled with lists and yellow cards cataloguing the tomes held at her branch locations. Not that it’s likely Alexander’s readers will take to a boat anytime soon.
Alexander is the first full-time administrator who oversees the libraries within Arkansas state prison system, which holds more than 14,000 inmates spread among 20 locations.
