<p>Hi All,<br>
</p>
<p>ALA has recently written two important press releases. One from ALA President Jim Neal reaffirming the library community's solidarity with immigrants and refugees in the face of the appalling refugee family separation policy. Included with the statement
are a list of links to organizations, which includes REFORMA's <a href="http://refugeechildren.wixsite.com/refugee-children">
Children in Crisis project </a>website: <a href="http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/06/american-library-association-outraged-refugee-family-separation-policy" title="http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/06/american-library-association-outraged-refugee-family-separation-policy
