library services and incarceration.

 Hello-


San Francisco Public Library's Jail and Reentry Services staff have created a 10 video training series on topics related to library services and incarceration.* Each video is approximately an hour long and is opened by a formerly incarcerated person. Topics include direct and indirect services, digital literacy, discussing incarceration in the LIS classroom, and more.

You are invited to utilize these materials in your courses!

All videos are freely available on the Expanding Information Access for Incarcerated People grant page at


You can also access the videos on our YouTube channel at


Videos are available with English or Spanish captioning. Each video description contains a link to the full transcript.

Please email jailandreentryservices@sfpl.org with any questions about these resources.

All Best,

Jeanie Austin
