Addressing unaccompanied youth housing and food insecurity through libraries

  • 1.  Addressing unaccompanied youth housing and food insecurity through libraries

    Posted Jul 01, 2022 11:58 AM

    Hello everyone, 

    I'm teaching a library school class this fall that focuses specifically on unaccompanied (i.e., youth without a parent/guardian) youth homelessness and libraries. If you've addressed unaccompanied youth housing/food insecurity through your library (public, academic, school, other), I'd love to hear from you. I'm interested in hearing about any work you've done: with local/national non-library partners, including partnerships, collaborations, sharing of information, sharing of resources, meetings, conversations, programs, etc.; on programs that are led by unhoused youth; or any other ways, big and small, that you've addressed this topic through your library.  

    Thank you! Julie Winkelstein, jwinkels@utk.edu
