Services to Refugees?
by Andrea Smalley 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

Hello All, Our community will be welcoming a large (for us) number of refugee families over the next several months, mainly from Syria with a few Congolese families as well. This is relatively new for us, and I am hoping that some of you in the Michigan library world who have more experience serving refugee and immigrant families will be willing to share what type of services/programs you offer or would like to offer to support these families, or any other tips, ideas, or experiences that could be helpful to us. Thank you!
