THIS SITE WILL BE SHUT DOWN SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2012. TO ACCESS LIBRARY SERVICES TO YOUTH IN CUSTODY CONTENT, PLEASE GO TO WWW.YOUTHLIBRARIES.ORG
This page has been moved to the LSYC website here (3/1/12)
We met virtually from 1-3pm (central) on 11 January 2012 to discuss our newly formed ASCLA Interest Group: Library Services for Incarcerated Youth, using ASCLA's account on GoToMeeting. To schedule a meeting, contact Andrea Hill @
SPRING 2012 VIRTUAL MEETING
LIBRARY SERVICES FOR INCARCERATED YOUTH INTEREST GROUP
ASCLA 11 January 2012, 1-3pm Central Time
-
1-1:15pm : Discuss Name of group – led by Devo Carpenter
- Results of voting on name:
- #1 Library Services to/for Incarcerated & Detained Youth (LSIDY, pron liss-id-ee)
- #2 Libraries and Juvenile Justice (LJJ)
- Continued discussion about plusses and minuses for each side.
- Proponents for LSIDY felt it better conveyed the purpose of the group, was more standardized, sounded less political, and would be easier to sell to those we might be advocating to.
- Proponents for LJJ felt that it reflected newer trends in services, capturing the group’s mission better, and staying inclusive to marginalized youth throughout the continuum of service, and that it focused on the positive outcomes of library services, rather than on what was done to the youth we work with (incarceration or detainment).
- After discussion a re-vote was taken: 9 for LSIDY, 3 for LJJ, 2 abstaining.
- Follow up note: After discovering that the Adult prisoner interest group had a name virtually identical to ours, and investigating some corrections-industry naming options, Amy came up with another option: Library Services for Youth in Custody (LS4YC). A vote will be taken on this in early February and will be posted to the Lockdown listserv.

-
2:15-2:30: Collection development resources for this population -- Led by Jessica & Jeanie (?)
- Discussion about selection tools, how they are used, and criteria for selection and how these vary from facility to facility. Amy is interested in documenting these criteria. Please send your criteria for what types of materials are/are not allowed in your facility to her. For example, some facilities prohibit the display of extensive cleavage in graphic novels, or the extensive description of sexual activities. What does your facility allow? Email Amy at ajcheney@mac.com or add yours to the list on the wiki (can be anonymous). Knowing these criteria will help us provide a detailed review that will help you know (for certain) whether a book is appropriate for your facility before you open it.
- Amy is proposing a new column to SLJ that would focus on books of interest to marginalized youth. Kathleen proposed the title “In the Margins” for this column. The column would be a feature that highlighted one or two books that are popular with marginalized youth. The column would be co-written by a group of reviewers who would also award a prize every year for the best contribution for marginalized youth (see below). If you are interested in serving on this committee, please contact Amy (see above).
-
2:30-2:45: Award / Reading List for books of interest to Incarcerated Youth -- Led by Amy
- New committee, will probably coordinate with ASCLA or YALSA, with a focus on highlighting works of interest to marginalized youth. Criteria for selection is yet to be determined, but will almost certainly include some adult titles that have special resonance with this population.
- If you are interested in serving as a reviewer-member of this award committee, please contact Amy (see above)
- Reading list would enable librarians serving incarcerated youth to share the work load amongst other librarians seeking similar materials (and with similar restrictions). Titles on these lists would include extensive tagging/flagging to indicate when they might contain content that would be prohibited in some facilities (images of guns, gang signs, nudity, profanity, etc).
-
2:45-3pm: State of services / member share -- general discussion
