People who are incarcerated have lots of information needs! Do your students have lots of questions that aren't related to their coursework? Please consider sharing information about Prison Library Support Network's Reference-by-Mail services.
According to their website, "PLSN’s reference by mail service answers research questions from incarcerated people around the country. Between October of 2021 and December of 2024, we responded to 3,878 letters from people who often have no other options for accessing information." More information can be found here.
PLSN is only able to answer letters from those currently incarcerated and that are sent following our PLSN letter writing guidelines. Please print these guidelines to share with your students. Letters can be mailed to:
