Laying the Foundation Between the Library and the Mam community

Project tags:

community engagement & outreach

equity & inclusion

social justice

During a visit to our sponsor library we became aware of the resource needs of the Mam and how we as a group can help the library to meet those needs. Through our work we were able to create resource and suggestion lists as well as finding literature which surround the Mam community and immigrants as a whole. We also were able to conduct surveys and interviews to gauge perceptions of the library system. Our project is impactful to the Mam community as it hopefully creates a helpful guide for future collaboration between the library and the community.
