Libraries and Sanctuary is a practical guide to how libraries and
their staff can support ‘new arrivals’ – people who have
crossed borders to reach a country. The book looks at the different
drivers behind an individual’s move, their need for signposting,
and at the sorts of barriers that are faced by new arrivals and
people seeking sanctuary. Readers will discover the background
reasons for migration, the global political context of migration,
and the likely impacts of both of these. They will also gain an
understanding of just how much work libraries have done so far;
learn from practical initiatives, ‘what works’ examples and
longer case studies; identify gaps in library provision; and find
inspiration to start similar initiatives in their own institution.
Drawing on the author’s decades of work in libraries and social
exclusion, this is a book for anyone seeking to create an inclusive
and welcoming library community.
