Subject: SRIDP: Celebrate Welcoming Week: A Guide for Libraries toolkit
Dear SRRT Members,
In support of Welcoming America's annual Welcoming Week celebration, the Services to Refugees, Immigrants, and Displaced Persons (SRDP) Subcommittee of ALA's ODLOS Advisory Committee would like to share a draft of our toolkit (please see attachment), "Celebrate Welcoming Week: A Guide for Libraries" with all of you. The SRDP toolkit guides libraries to host their own Welcoming Week events, beginning with this Welcoming Week, September 13-22, 2024. Other resources for Welcoming Week planning are the suggested Welcoming America webinars and general toolkit. If your library plans to host an event, please consider adding it to the Welcoming America's Welcoming Week Event page.
To learn more about the SRIDP subcommittee or to give us feedback about the "Celebrate Welcoming Week: A Guide for Libraries" visit our website.
