In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Peggy Morton, LCSW, to explore the expansion of NYU’s Silver School of Social Work field placements in branches of the New York Public Library. We discuss the alignment between the core values of social work and librarianship, along with the unique ethical challenges students encounter in public library environments. Dr. Morton highlights the practical skills students develop through these placements, the potential impact of stipends in formalizing library social work as a field of practice, and the ways social work programs can educate students about the essential contributions libraries make to individuals and communities alike.Substack@librarysocialwork
