Description

Jail and Reentry Services (JARS) provides weekly library services inside San Francisco's county jails, and conduct outreach at reentry-related events for recently incarcerated people. JARS staff coordinates the SFPL's Reference by Mail program – where incarcerated people can mail a reference question and receive a professionally researched reply. JARS promotes library programs and services relevant to people who are in the process of reentry and to their families and communities, including programs about accessing housing, legal information, storytimes and children’s events across the city, and programs related to learning to read or to use smartphones and computers.
