Resources
The Welcoming Spaces National Forum is a collaborative project between the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) and the Association of Children's Museums (ACM). This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services Award LG-16-19-0110-19. The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) and the Association of Children's Museums (ACM) are accepting applications to participate in the Welcoming Spaces National Forum, which will take place virtually in June 2022.
The purpose of this project is to develop and share a set of best practices in serving immigrants and refugees in libraries and children's museums. Selected participants will represent 12 children's museums and 12 libraries with experience in serving immigrants and refugees, and up to 24 of their partnering organizations. Each participating library and children's museum will receive an honorarium of $2,000 to be shared with their collaborating partner. Participants in this project will be expected to record a brief video describing their project, program or service using a smartphone or camera. Participants will receive a tripod and lapel microphone to aid this process. The ALSC-ACM project team will prioritize selecting for a diverse group with respect to geography, size, service type, and project duration. Preference will be given to participants that plan to attend the virtual event as a collaborating team.
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis with special consideration given to early applicants. Applications are due by February 25, 2022.
