Student parents can feel unwelcome and invisible in their institutions. And for every student parent who is struggling to complete an education despite these hurdles, there are many others who have not been able to find a way. Supporting Student Parents in the Academic Library: Designing Spaces, Policies, and Services (ACRL, 2024) by Kelsey Keyes and Ellie Dworak is a guide to engaging with and aiding the student parents in your libraries and leading the charge in making your institutions more family friendly.
Supporting Student Parents in the Academic Library is part toolkit, part treatise, and part call to action. In four parts: The Higher Education Landscape, The Role of Academic Libraries, Looking Outward to Community, and Evaluating Needs and Measuring Success. It includes templates, sample policy language, budgets, survey instruments, and other immediately useful tools and examples. There are field notes from academic librarians from institutions of varying sizes and resources demonstrating different ways of supporting these students, and the voices of students themselves.
Kelsey Keyes was an academic librarian for fifteen years and is now Emerita Professor at Boise State University. She holds a Master of Library and Information Science and a Masters of English Literature from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is currently the Managing Editor of Critical AI (Duke University Press), as well as the copy editor of College & Research Libraries and Rare Books and Manuscripts (both ACRL publications).
