Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to share a link to an archive recording of our “Library
Services to Immigrants and Refugees” webinar which took place on 31 March
2016. IFLA Continuing Professional Development and Workplace Learning and
the New Professionals SIG partnered with the American Library Association
to present this one-hour webinar. We are happy to produce an online
resource that will be available for everyone to revisit and listen anywhere
at any time.

We believe in libraries serving all the groups in our communities.
Therefore, we were glad to collaborate with various library groups to share
the most current best practices and models to serve immigrants and
refugees. Libraries are vital centers for diverse populations including
immigrants, refugees and multilingual people.

During the online event, *Jan Richards*, Secretary and Information
Coordinator of the IFLA Public Libraries Section, and Manager of Central
West Libraries in Australia, shared best practices and models from
different countries compiled by her Section which you can find on the
document titled “Responding! Public Libraries and Refugees
<http://www.ifla.org/files/assets/public-libraries/publications/library_service_to_refugees_0.pdf>”.
You can read more about their publications and projects on the IFLA Public
Libraries website <http://www.ifla.org/public-libraries>.

*Jukka Relander*, President of the European Bureau of Library, Information
and Documentation Associations (EBLIDA) <http://www.eblida.org/>, and
President of the Finnish Library Association shared insights from the
library community in Europe. EBLIDA has developed a strong campaign to
promote services to these populations and you can stay updated by following
its website which features libraries from different European countries
serving refugees.

*Jack Hang-tat Leong*, Chair of IFLA Library Services to Multicultural
Populations Section <http://www.ifla.org/mcultp>, and Director of
University of Toronto Libraries in Canada, spoke about the IFLA/UNESCO
Multicultural Library Manifesto Toolkit
<http://www.ifla.org/node/8975> published
by his Section.

*Loida Garcia-Febo*, IFLA Governing Board Member, coordinated the event and
shared early findings and initial recommendations about programs, topics,
and services based on results of her early research about public libraries
serving immigrants and refugees in the U.S.A.
