Hey all,
Has anyone tried Wikimedia activities with Prison Libraries? Seems like a really cool
opportunity to highlight offline Wikipedia etc?
Cheers,
Alex

Dear IFLA community,
For an upcoming publication on prison libraries, I am currently looking for people (for
example prison librarians) who can share experiences from their countries, including
different approaches and policy environments for prison education and prison libraries. I
am also looking for articles, photos, existing case studies, etc.
The publication will be the first international, comparative publication on the role and
potential of prison libraries. It will provide an overview of the contribution that books
and libraries in prison can make in supporting a reading culture, increasing literacy
skills and preparing inmates for their socio-professional integration after their
release.
The international policy environment for prison libraries will be described, particularly
the IFLA Guidelines for Library Services to Prisoners. It is foreseen to launch the
publication at the IFLA conference in 2019.
I very much look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Lisa Krolak
