Library services to recently arrived Latino immigrants
REFORMA IRC will present a virtual event to help libraries across the country better serve recently arrived Latino immigrants. For that purpose, librarians from public libraries and in cities with large concentrations of recent immigrants will share strategies and resources they are providing to this population. In addition, representatives from an immigrant- serving non- governmental organization will provide relevant information on the topic.
