Free Citizenship Resources for Libraries




The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has an agreement with IMLS to provide information and resources for legal immigrants seeking U.S. citizenship.  USCIS has created a special landing page on their Citizenship Resource Center for librarians: www.uscis.gov/citizenship/organizations/libraries.  Librarians can find information on establishing a citizenship corner at a library, a widget that can be added to a library’s website to direct patrons to USCIS resources, and information on upcoming webinars and training opportunities.  There is also a link where librarians can order a free copy of a Civics and Citizenship Toolkit, as well as posters and bookmarks.
