Hello!

The three session are all scheduled for Friday, October 25. I’d like to hold an interest group meeting that day. If you are planning to attend the conference, please reply directly to me to let me know if between 2:00 PM and 3:30 PM or 5:30 to 7:00 PM is a better time to meet.

Looking forward to seeing you!

The League of Extraordinary Librarians: Demystifying the Work of California Correctional Librarians
Friday, October 25, 2019 | 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM
Have you ever wondered what correctional librarians do? To answer your first question, no, they’re not scared. If you still have questions, two California State Prison librarians will discuss their day to day work in correctional libraries. Part law library, part academic library, part public library, the work of correctional librarianship is multifold..
Presenters: Jameson N. Rohrer; Alicia Friedman - California State Prison Los Angeles County

Literacy Inside and Out: Literacy & Writing Support for the Current and Formerly Incarcerated
Friday, October 25, 2019 | 1:00 PM - 1:50 PM
Serving incarcerated and newly released adults and youth with low-level literacy skills requires specific, structured interventions to develop reading and writing skills and inspire personal growth and transformation. Join us on
a not-so-much traveled path to learn about expanding your Literacy services to lock-up facilities. You’ll hear
how OC Read provides Literacy Services to adults in the Orange County Jails and how InsideOUT Writers serves those inside the Los Angeles County Juvenile Halls and jails through creative writing. This presentation will cover the basics of what each program accomplishes. Whether you consider yourself a Literacy newbie or veteran, you can be an extraordinary Literacy support person to the incarcerated and newly released. Join us and leave with a plan and ideas to start a literacy and/or creative writing program to this underserved population of adults and youth.
Presenters: Susan Pina; Jimmy Wu - InsideOUT Writers

What If Patrons Can’t Access the Internet?: Reference by Mail for Patrons Who Are Incarcerated
Friday, October 25, 2019 | 4:00 PM - 4:50 PM
Information access for people inside of jails and prisons
is an issue of equity and social justice. People in jails
and prisons have little to no access to the Internet, and may have limited access to books or libraries. Librarians can address this lack of access by utilizing the physical mail to receive reference requests and provide patrons with needed information. Participants in this session
will learn about San Francisco Public Library’s Reference by Mail service, discuss some of the opportunities and barriers to providing reference service through the mail, be presented with models for creating a Reference by Mail service, and collectively workshop answers to a few letters from patrons within jails and prisons. Participants will leave the session equipped with the tools to create their own Reference by Mail service for people in jails and prisons.
