Books to read and consider regarding library services and the PIC September 15, 2024 Thinking about library services and incarceration? Here are some of the books that have helped me to parse out this bureaucratic tangle, in no particular order. Please note that the new ALA Standards for Library Services for the Incarcerated and Detained are almost here! But just as the PIC is vast, there are many angles to consider. This list is not at all comprehensive, but I hope it is a good point of reference for library and information workers who are wondering what is up on these fronts.

A screenshot from the link reading: "This is the true nature of labor that executives fail to comprehend at scale: that the things we do are not units of work, but extrapolations of experience, emotion, and context that cannot be condensed in written meaning. Business Idiots see our labor as the result of a smart manager saying “do this,” rather than human ingenuity interpreting both a request and the shit the manager didn’t say."
