IRRT Chair's Program: Libraries Saving Lives: Serving immigrants and refugees
Saturday, June 23, 1 p.m.
Global mobility and recent worldwide crises have led to an
increase in immigrants and refugees seeking to improve their lives in sometimes
unfamiliar countries and cultures. Libraries around the globe are responding to
and welcoming the newcomers of all ages, languages, and nationalities into
their communities. By developing services, programs, collections and spaces,
they are assisting these particularly vulnerable populations with logistical
and cultural adjustment through such programs as innovative language learning
meet-ups, job-seeking guidance, and homework assistance. During this program,
you’ll hear about how librarians in Malmö, Sweden; Cologne, Germany; and
Kentucky, U.S., are using ground-breaking models and creating dynamic spaces to
engage immigrants and refugees. Panelists will make suggestions on how you can
adapt these ideas to transform your own libraries into socially inclusive
spaces.
Speakers:
Dr. Hannelore Vogt, Director of the Cologne Public Library, Germany
Torbjörn Nilsson, Library Director Malmö City Library, Sweden
Sophie Maier, Immigrant Services Librarian at the Iroquois
Branch, Louisville Free Public Library, Kentucky
