Opening Doors for Vulnerable Patrons: Implementing a Library Locker Program

Join us to learn about Elizabeth Public Library’s initiative to provide lockers to its homeless and housing-insecure patrons, not only as a practical resource but as a stepping stone toward their long-term stability. In this session, we will explore how secure storage fosters a sense of empowerment and autonomy to the most vulnerable members of our community, and creates positive relationships with library staff, allowing us to connect them with the information, resources, and services they need.
