Dear colleagues: Please find below a message from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, about resources you can use to raise awareness and provide information about the naturalization process. Thank you! Dear California Library Community: As you know, libraries can play an important role in raising awareness about the naturalization process and the rights and responsibilities of U.S. citizenship. We encourage you to create a dedicated space in your library where immigrants can find information about becoming a U.S. citizen. USCIS has developed educational materials to help prepare individuals for naturalization. These materials are ideal for setting up a Citizenship Corner <http://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/organizations/libraries/citizenship-corners> in your library. Here immigrants can find the information and resources they need to start the path toward becoming a U.S. citizen. Also, link to USCIS resources by adding a widget <https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/see-all-section-items-title/Widgets/55247?destination=node/41137> to your website. The widgets are small online applications in English and Spanish that can be embedded on social media sites, blogs, or other web pages. Attached is a list of local Community Relations Officers in CA that can assist with the corners and answer questions regarding the IMLS partnership <http://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/organizations/libraries>. -- Jim Craner Development Operations Manager The Galecia Group // galecia.com 773/809-4546 jim@galecia.com
