Project
The Harris County Public Library in Texas, facing the challenge of accommodating its diverse immigrant population, is partnering with FUSE to expand programming and services for immigrants, particularly in the context of citizenship and naturalization. FUSE Executive Fellow Rahma Sallu will conduct a listening tour to gather input and identify current programming gaps while researching successful programs worldwide. By implementing an actionable strategy, the Library aims to raise awareness of services, build partnerships, and serve as a nationwide model for other library systems.
