Presentation

Tuesday, June 22nd 2021 from 4:00pm to 5:00pm

In this presentation, members of the Prison Library Support Network discussed: (1) how the organization started and how they build our relationships; (2) the projects they have done: from the asks that inspire them, to the way they work through them as a non-hierarchical organization, to their impact in the library and prison communities; and (3) what brought them to and keeps them tied to this work—how it brings joy and how it fosters radical information liberation, i.e., information access alternatives that subvert power structures.

PLSN's goal for this presentation is to offer its work as one model for organizing sustainable, volunteer-powered information networks and services, and to encourage reflection on what our roles as information workers look like in the struggle for collective liberation.

This webinar was initially presented as part of the 2021 Urban Libraries Conference.
