Support Taking Action Against Censorship

Posted onAuthorsingram

The Suffolk County Library Association (SCLA) has been serving librarians, staff, and trustees of Suffolk County libraries since 1939. Our membership consists of library staff from across Suffolk County, including academic, special, and public Libraries. SCLA is committed to intellectual freedom and the freedom to read. This includes a firm opposition to the restriction, removal, or censorship of books, materials, and displays. We support library users from all backgrounds and communities. We believe that libraries are a place for all to feel welcome and supported.

PLDA and SCLA are proud to launch a website designed to give people clear information about censorship and point them in the direction of resources which will allow them to take action with respect to this important issue. Please visit the STAAC (Support Taking Action Against Censorship) website at https://staac.net/. We hope you will share this website all who are seeking answers to their questions about censorship in libraries.

Best,
Carisse Mitchell
SCLA President

LGBTQIA+ Programs & Programmers Database

Posted onAuthorsingram

At the Long Island Library Pride Alliance’s General Membership Meeting in January, it was shared that library staff members would like to know what programs and/or programmers others have had for LGBTQIA+ programming in Long Island libraries. We have put together a form (link on the attached flyer) for everyone to share their programs/programmers. This can be a program you created in house or a program that was run with an outside programmer. We would like to create a living database for staff members to access when they are looking for programming ideas.

Thank you for helping us in this endeavor.
Have a wonderful day,
