The Welcoming Library is a pop-up community conversation on immigration driven by a collection of acclaimed picture books. Readers of all ages “meet” these families on the page and explore the commonalities of all families with embedded discussion questions. It highlights the lives of New Arrivals and New Americans through the sharing of children’s literature. By reading and engaging with children’s books, readers of all ages and backgrounds can experience immigration, acculturation, and cultural celebration. Fiction, from picture books to novels, allows readers to see themselves and others in a way that changes the culture of welcoming and belonging.
