“Their presence does not make people feel safe.”
Aside from being a space of safety and accessibility, libraries have long been a site for, particularly because patrons can educate themselves for free. AbLA hopes to continue this tradition by circulating literature about abolition to interested readers, as well as providing resources to incarcerated people.
“I think the role of libraries in abolitionist political education only starts at reading lists and displays,” says Garrett. “As an outreach worker, my perspective is [that] it's great to have the radical reading lists and radical titles in our collections, but there's got to be the materials circulation and resources-in-hands to match. Political education is an active role for libraries and is ideally community-based and responsive to actual asks.
“I love my job,” says Little. “But I hate that it exists. I strive to provide excellent service to my patrons because that’s my top priority, but I wish jails and prisons didn’t exist so there wasn’t a need for people like me.”
