The Network - tackling social exclusion website
The Network website includes useful resources relevant to Libraries of Sanctuary. The main part of the website is arranged into topics: on the ‘Migration’ topic landing-page, there is: ‘Migration: “Welcome To Your Library” (and museums, archives, galleries and other cultural and heritage organisations)’, and then specific posts:
- ‘How can the cultural sector support refugees and other new arrivals?’
- ‘How can we find out how many refugees and asylum-seekers there are in our area?’
- Welcome To Your Library evaluation report
- Welcome To Your Library evaluation report – executive summary
- Welcome To Your Library Pilot Project final report
