MULTICULTURAL/MULTILINGUAL SERVICES
COMMITTEE
Our Mission Statement is as follows “this committee [is] charged with assisting library staff in sharing service and programming ideas targeted to the diverse communities serving Suffolk Libraries.” In adhering to this, the Committee meets four times a year to discuss any and all issues that arise within the libraries that affect service to our diverse communities. These issues can range from collection development, to programming ideas, to creating documents in non-English fonts, to where to send a non-English speaking person for immigration information. The committee would like to think of itself as a clearinghouse on best practices in serving diverse communities. One of our main goals is to disseminate and share information in a collegial fashion.
