Greetings,

My name is Sarah and I am a LIS students at the University of Alabama. I am
currently in a literacy instruction course working on a one-shot lesson. I
would like to create a lesson geared toward those who are incarcerated, but
I have no practical experience in this setting and details about
programming are limited online. I would love to hear from librarians who
actually work with this population, both adult and youth.

Here are some questions I have:

  1. What programs do you have experience with in teaching information
    literacy to those who are incarcerated?

  2. What resources are available to teach information literacy to those who
    are incarcerated? Computers, Internet, books??

  3. Any other input is most welcome.

Thank you so much for letting me intrude upon your quarantine time. I
appreciate any feedback or wisdom and I hope you are all well during this
concerning time.

Sincerely,
Sarah
