Chaired by Stephanie Kenna (The British Library)
The afternoon starts with Helen Carpenter talking about the opportunities and
challenges facing libraries in a multicultural environment. She will draw on her
experiences of running the award-winning Welcome to Your Library Project,
which encouraged librarians to reach out to refugees, and on what she learnt
about multiculturalism in North America and Europe during her tenure of the
Winston Churchill Memorial Trust travelling scholarship in 2007.
Diana Edmonds follows with an examination of the practical aspects of
designing and running library services. Since she took over in 2001, library
performance in Haringey - one of the most ethnically diverse of London
boroughs - has improved dramatically.
Finally Amanuel Gebrekidan, a journalist and qualified librarian and himself a
refugee from Eritrea now living and working in UK, will speak on what sort of
library services a migrant or refugee to UK wants and will use.
There will be ample time for discussion, questions and answers.
