PROJECT SCOPE

Improving Library Partnerships with Immigrant Communities

LINA launched in 2021 with financial support from the Institute of Museum and Library Studies (IMLS), Grant RE-250026-OLS-21

LINA reframes how libraries approach immigrant engagement by

✔ exploring immigrants’ information pressures in an increasingly hardline U.S. immigration environment

✔ distilling community-centered recommendations and assets for effective partnerships

The purpose is to advance knowledge of immigrant well-being and acculturation with the goal of increasing libraries’ capacities to serve as trusted spaces.
