Wondering what your library can do for your community's immigrant
population? This book is replete with resources, tips, and
suggestions providing valuable guidance to librarians who want to
better serve this still-growing part of America's population. This
up-to-date guide to developing and implementing a wide variety of
services to immigrants and new Americans focuses on the practical
steps of creating and promoting programs. Illustrated by success
stories in libraries throughout the country, the book discusses
both traditional (ESOL and citizenship classes) and transformative
(legal aid and workforce development) programs and services in
terms of size, type, and local political climate (e.g., sanctuary
cities) at a variety of public libraries as well as in select
school libraries. As changes unfold in regard to how the federal
government and local communities view and treat immigrants and new
Americans in their midst, this topic deserves a fresh take from the
profession. The author meets that need, providing practical ideas
that range from creating more accessible websites and improving
wayfaring and customer service in order to overcome cultural
roadblocks to dealing with backlash in communities as libraries
extend outreach and partnership-building goals.
