Today we would like to share an initiative that we believe will be of great interest to libraries, especially those that welcome people with migration experience and who may require different types of support from regular users.
The LiBri project aims to support libraries across Europe in their role of welcoming and fostering the inclusion of exiled people. It seeks to strengthen libraries’ capacity to respond to these specific needs by encouraging collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the sharing of good practices.
LiBri is led by a consortium of European organizations and is co-funded by the European Union through the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF). It is a two-year project that began in May 2024. Currently, 50 libraries from different European countries are participating in the project, including France, Poland, Romania, Italy, and Latvia.
Through the LiBri project, a set of practical resources has been developed to support libraries and their partners in designing, strengthening, and sustaining local strategies for the integration of people with migration experience. All resources are freely available, and we would like to share some of them with you:
We encourage you to learn more about this project and to explore the available materials, which can be highly valuable in continuing to build more inclusive and welcoming libraries.
