WebJunction Webinar on Services to Refugees
October 23rd. 1:00 CT Join WebJunction for a one-hour free Community Webinar at WebJunction. In 1975 the United States began accepting large numbers of refugees in response to the Fall of Saigon. Over the next 33 years approximately 2.6 million refugees have been resettled in this country, and many of these individuals are now using our libraries. Guest presenter Valerie Wonder, Immigrant & Refugee Programs Manager at Seattle Public Library, will provide an overview of refugee resettlement in the United States including information on recent refugee populations. She will also highlight some successful approaches to serving refugees in public libraries. Before working for SPL, Valerie was the Community Programs Manager for the International Rescue Committee’s Seattle office where she specialized in refugee services.
