Are you interested in learning how to incorporate immigration services into the library? The Public Library Association and the American Library Association Office for Diversity, Literacy, and Outreach Services (ODLOS) have invited the Immigration Advocates Network (IAN) to share valuable information about their free online tools—immi and Citizenshipworks—which can be used to expand the capacity of your citizenship corner and provide people with self-guided immigration legal assistance. IAN will also discuss the ways libraries are currently using immi and Citizenshipworks in its branches. In addition, two public librarians engaged in working with the immigrant population in their communities will give examples of citizenship workshops and other programs at their libraries aimed towards immigrant patrons.

Panelists:

  • Sebastian Zavala: Program Manager, Immigration Advocates Network
  • Zizi Bandera: Community Engagement Coordinator, Immigration Advocates Network 
  • Julie Robinson: Refugee & Immigrant Services & Empowerment (RISE) Outreach Manager, Kansas City (Mo.) Public Library
  • Helen Stewart: Literacy Coordinator, Schaumburg Township District Library
