There are 232 million of migrants worldwide with USA and Germany in the top countries. In 2014, there were 59.5 million people forcibly displaced with 19.5 million of those being refugees which might have doubled in 2015. This individual presentation will cover topics such as core principals and guidelines to serve these populations as recently published on IFLA/UNESCO Multicultural Library Manifesto and Accompanying Toolkit, and best practices and models from academic, public, school libraries meeting the needs of immigrants, migrants, refugees and multi-lingual people in communities in the U.S. and in other regions of the globe. These libraries partnered with government, public and private agencies to develop collections, programs and services to meet needs related to education, digital innovation, health, housing, jobs, literacy and women empowerment among others. The presentation seeks to engage librarians and decision makers by starting a conversation about the what, why, when and how of building a library that welcomes and serves diverse populations and in the process saves lives.

It will include an SDG wheel that conference attendees can spin to -in a fun way- select an SDG and then converse with Garcia-Febo about how their libraries´ programs and services can help develop their community in that area. A chart including all the SDGs and library program / service examples from the US and other countries about each one of the SDGs will help focus these conversations to analyze how their library can help develop their communities. A concise handout with examples will be available for librarians to take with them. Additionally, today ´ s technologies will allow participants to take photos of the chart and the SDG wheel to further discuss with their colleagues once they return to their libraries. These resources provide a local / national / international platform to discuss examples of how libraries not only in the USA and Germany, but around the world, are specifically creating and cultivating new relationships to help communities learn, understand and support sustainable professional development.
