Prison Library Support Network Volunteer Orientation
Friday, January 24, 6:30-7:30pm
Join us for the first-ever volunteer orientation for Prison Library Support Network’s new Reference Project. After attending this orientation you will be able to remotely answer reference questions from people incarcerated in NYC correctional facilities.
What is this project about? While public libraries offer services to correctional facilities in NYC, they are not able to circulate their general collections in correctional facilities. Instead, librarians circulate books from a much smaller, more limited collection used exclusively inside jails and prisons. This results in library staff receiving requests and reference questions in person that relate to topics not covered by the library collection. In partnership with local public librarians who serve people incarcerated in NYC jails, PLSN has created a structure for volunteers (that’s you!) to remotely answer these kinds of reference requests with care and expertise.
Questions and more info: Please email plsn_nyc@protonmail.com with any questions. RSVP (optional) on our Meetup event page.

Audio Interference 71: Protect Oak Flat
In this episode of Audio Interference, we speak with Vanessa Nosie, activist, and Carrie Curley, activist and artist, about the Apache Stronghold and their spiritual movement to protect Oak Flat from the foreign mining company Resolution Copper.
We encourage you to call your Senators and Representatives to be sure they support the protection of sacred sites. Ask them to sign on as sponsors of the Save Oak Flat Act, which would repeal the land exchange bill.
