This is me! A little “outside the book” thinking can save lives.
I attended ALA Annual 2023 in Chicago this past June to present, “Welcome to the BiblioUnderground: Using Library Discards to Check People Out of Bad Situations” (Poster 63, last session).
At conference, I met many positive, knowledgeable and supportive people (librarians, publishing peeps, vendors and everyone in between), and in the time since progress in my project has been made!
Please share, as the real message is secret burner phones are lifelines to anyone who needs to be “checked-out of a bad situation.”
Thank you 📚💕✨

This is ingenious. I also remember seeing a collection box at a library a number of years ago to collect older, unwanted phones to be used for a program like this. Libraries (and librarians) are incredible for so many reasons.
