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/

    libraries for the commons

    April 7, 2024 Index Space

    Libraries for the Commons is a free, one-day gathering and celebration of local, mutual aid book & knowledge-sharing collectives. We invite anyone interested in learning about library projects in their own communities and knowledge sharing as a tool for resistance, sustenance, and abolitionist world building more broadly. Come engage in conversations, workshops, and performances and leave the gathering with free and low-cost books, chapbooks, zines and other printed materials.

    Join us by getting a sliding-scale ticket here! All ticket donations will go toward the cost of the event and groups who’ve made our gathering possible.

    Participating groups include Wendy’s Subway, The Free Black Women’s Library, Interference Archive, Prison Library Support Network, Librarians and Archivists with Palestine, and the Pilipinx American Library, and Brooklyn Book Bodega among others.
