dc.description.abstractIn the face of the largest global refugee crisis since the second world war, library support to displaced persons is one of the most vital things that we as library community can provide right now. Libraries play a crucial role as trusted community spaces and welcoming sanctuaries for all, regardless of their displacement, limbo state, or any kind of intersectional vulnerability they may face at the same time, like gender identity, childhood, third age, or disability. With this work libraries contribute to the two-way integration process: they empower displaced individuals to integrate into the host communities, helping them recover from their traumas, while they also allow both displaced and host communities to learn from each other and appreciate the cultural diversity. The first-ever IFLA guidelines for libraries supporting displaced populations aim to serve as a vehicle to expand the traditional role of librarianship, entering a new learning space for libraries.
