Description

Public libraries often serve as a first stop for people seeking legal information, but assisting patrons with legal reference questions presents unique challenges. How can librarians provide useful guidance without crossing into legal advice? What resources are available to support pro se litigants? In this episode, we're joined by Anthony Aycock, Legislative Librarian at the North Carolina General Assembly, to explore these challenges and solutions. Anthony is the author of the article "Navigating Legal Reference: How Public Libraries Can Empower Pro Se Litigants," which appeared in the March/April 2025 issue of Public Libraries magazine.
