Library Services to Displaced Populations

The ILFA Section Library Services to People with Special Needs has produced draft Guidelines for Library Services to Displaced Populations (covering library service to refugees, immigrants, migrants, and asylum seekers) at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qtI3kg4GSx_sL8fwZ0OMfztqZxrIMC-X/edit#heading=h.gjdgxs It is an interesting document with lots of recommendations and examples for engagement. It was open to comments until July 20th, which date obviously is past (sorry for not spotting this earlier) - although if something strikes you immediately it may be possible to email Despina Gerasimidou at despina.gerasimidou@ifla.org
