Queens Public Library

Queens Borough Public Library will use its grant to design and implement the Librarian Digital & Integration Gateway Project, a professional development program for 400 librarians with the purpose of improving libraries’ immigrant services. The curriculum will focus on the digital literacy and integration support needs of foreign-born populations and be organized around four learning modules: Immigrant and Community Needs; Digital Tools & Technological Resources; Immigrant Case Management; and Citizenship and Integration Support. The project will be sustained through product development and dissemination, internal in-service and turnkey training, and external visiting librarian practicums.
