    Hello! Please share the opportunity below with current or former students who may be interested. 

    ...

    San Francisco Public Library's Expanding Information Access for Incarcerated People grant team is excited to share an opportunity for second year and matriculating LIS students and early-career professionals--Expanding Services Together: Modeling Library Services for People Negatively Impacted by Incarceration. 

    Expanding Services Together is an upcoming learning cohort for early career library and information workers, LIS students, and members of community-based projects. It is an opportunity to develop professional skills related to library services for people who are or have been incarcerated.

    Focus areas

    • Reviewing models of library services 
    • Responding to information needs created by incarceration 
    • Responding to information needs created by reentry 
    • Creating cultural- and gender-responsive services 
    • Locating community resources 
    • Supporting digital literacy 

    Sessions will feature guests who have been impacted by incarceration, including formerly incarcerated people, information providers, and advocates.

    The upcoming cohort will take place in the fall of 2026. The cohort will be composed of approximately 20 members. We will be utilizing a two-round application process throughout the cohort selection.

    Information about applicant criteria and the first round of application materials will be made available on January 9th, 2026, and will be announced through the Expanding Information Access for Incarcerated People newsletter.
