I read this on <a href='http://nnlm.gov/mcr/bhic/?p=3836'>BHIC</a>, which is a blog written by Siobahn Champ&#045;Blackwell of NNLM and often features good resources for services to refuguees.<br /><br /><div class='quote'><div class='quote-content'>Integrating Immigrant Families in Emergency Response, Relief and Rebuilding Efforts is a new publication by Annie E. Casey Foundation that helps service providers incorporate new refugee and immigrant populations into local emergency response efforts. The report mainly focuses on how to address language barriers in emergency preparedness for Limited English Proficient &#040;LEP&#041; communities. The report also includes lists of sources for LEP preparedness, which service providers will find helpful. Download the PDF file at <a href='http://www.gcir.org/publications/gcirpubs/emergency'>http://www.gcir.org/publications/gcirpubs/emergency</a>] The Ethnic Community Self&#045;Help Program is a grant provided by the Office of Refugee Resettlement &#040;ORR&#041; to public, private or faith&#045;based programs that connect refugees and their communities to resources within their new American communities. ORR is looking for national, regional or local programs that help in community building, cultural adjustment and integration of refugees into their new lives in the United States. The deadline is February 24, 2009. <a href='http://www.acf.hhs.gov/grants/open/HHS&#045;2008&#045;ACF&#045;ORR&#045;RE&#045;0117.html'>http://www.acf.hhs.gov/grants/open/HHS&#045;2008&#045;ACF&#045;ORR&#045;RE&#045;0117.html</a> [posted on [brycs] BRYCS December Bulletin Alert]</div></div>

A lot of great books were mentioned as well, in the webinar, which I&#039;ve added to the <a href='/home/articles/content/21101551'>webinar archive page</a>. <br /><br />One that I read recently for a book club I&#039;m in &#040;sponsored by the Seattle Public Library&#041; was When Broken Glass Floats. It documents the story of a woman who survived the Khmer Rouge. I wonder if anyone here has read that book? <br /><br />Maybe people have other books they could recommend that could help raise more awareness about the refugee experience?

I just posted a list of great resources for those of you who are interested in learning more about refugees. I used these reports and websites to put my section of the webinar together. Cheers!

I was inspired to create this group after the October 2008 Refugees 101 webinar. <br /><br />What is your library doing to serve the special needs of refugees and asylees?

Continue the conversation after the webinar. Post your own resources, ideas, and questions about services to refugees in libraries.
