LACUNY Services for Incarcerated People Roundtable

The Services for Incarcerated People Roundtable provides a forum for librarians who support, or are interested in supporting, library services for incarcerated people to discuss current issues, broaden their understanding, and raise awareness of information barriers within the carceral system. The Roundtable connects CUNY librarians with other librarian-led groups, such as Prison Library Support Network, that provide direct services to incarcerated people, and serves as a resource for CUNY groups such as the UFS Committee on Higher Education in the Prisons and those working in prison education programs. https://lacunysips.commons.gc.cuny.edu/

    Hello Roundtable members! Apologies for not checking in sooner, I’ve been fighting to stay employed by CUNY. Seems like it is working out.

    I was thinking that it might be interesting to invite Ellen Sexton at John Jay to talk to the Roundtable, maybe a short Zoom session? I’m curious if librarians at John Jay have opportunities to support students who are or have been incarcerated.

    Does anyone else have suggestions for Roundtable activities this semester?

    Thank you! Rachel
