The mission of the Library Instruction Round Table (LIRT) is to provide a forum for discussion of activities, programs, and problems of instruction in the use of libraries; to contribute to the education and training of librarians for library instruction; to promote instruction in the use of libraries as an essential library service, and to serve as a channel of communication on library instruction between the ALA divisions, ALA and ACRL committees, state clearinghouses, Project LOEX, other organizations concerned with instruction in the use of libraries, and members of the Association.

    Are you interested in helping underserved youth in your local community? If so, this session is for you! During this session, I share my journey developing a book club for local incarcerated youth impacted by gangs and gang violence. The session will highlight creative lesson planning via incorporating art, graphic novels, creative writing, and transformative group discussions to engage youth of all ages and reading levels. In addition, I share lessons I've learned along the way.
