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/

NYC Public Library Action Network’s People’s Assembly

  • Posted by Rachel Jones on April 24, 2025 at 11:51 am

    A People’s Assembly (PA) is a facilitated gathering where community members discuss key community issues and collectively problem-solve and decide how to address them. The NYC Public Library Action Network (NYC PLAN) invites New Yorkers to join us on May 17 to discuss library funding and to share our visions for our local libraries. Come spend an afternoon in conversation with library patrons, library workers, and others from across NYC to discuss what increased funding of NYC public libraries would achieve for our communities.

    The PA will kick off with a short teach-in about who funds NYC libraries, followed by a short panel discussion. The bulk of our time will feature small group discussion about our visions for our public libraries. Admission is at no cost to participants. The People’s Assembly is being organized by volunteers and is community-funded. We have included donation tickets for those who would like to contribute to the costs of the assembly. Thank you.

    Get Tickets Here.

    Date and time: Saturday, May 17 · 1:30 – 5:30pm EDT

    Location: Greenpoint Reformed Church, 136 Milton Street Brooklyn, NY 11222
