Online/Virtual Event
Monday, October 10th from 7:30pm
to 9:00pm
Want to learn more about prison abolition? Looking to explore the role of information in the prison industrial complex? Excited to discuss ways we can collectively offer resources to address violence caused by mass incarceration? Join the club (literally!). This monthly discussion group with Prison Library Support Network will look at a rotating calendar of media resources for discussion, meeting the 2nd Monday of each month at 7:30pm.
While the group's facilitators (and host) are affiliated with libraries, you do not need to be a librarian or information professional to attend this group. We will share our discussion calendar regularly through METRO and the PLSN listserv, so that folks can plan ahead to attend the months that sound interesting to them.
This month's discussion will focus on children's books that are about incarceration:
Picture Book: Visiting Day by Jacqueline Woodson, and James E Ransome (Available at NYPL, BPL, QPL)
Picture Book: Milo Imagines the World by Matt la Pena and Christian Robinson (Available at NYPL, BPL, QPL) We will be giving a storytime performance of this book during the discussion
Optional:
Far Apart, Close in Heart: Being a Family When a Loved One Is Incarcerated (Available at NYPL, BPL, QPL)
