Citizenship/Immigration Info

I've had a couple of patrons approach the desk looking for information on citizenship and immigration. I directed one of the patrons to Benito (there was a serious language barrier and I called Benito asking if he could assist) and the other I was able to match with information from the USCIS website. There are links to forms, publications and practice tests for folks preparing for naturalization exams. Check it out:
www.uscis.gov

Also, I printed out Spanish and English versions of the USCIS publication Welcome to the United States: A Guide for New Immigrants. I will place the English-language version in the general Reference section and the Spanish-language in SP. They'll be in the catalog for easy reference. Black and white copies can be printed for patrons at the USCIS website.

We placed an order for a Citizenship Toolkit that should also help with this sort of query.

Thanks, Sarah
