IFLA-Section 32 Library Services to Multicultural Populations Section

The Section brings together libraries and institutions interested in the development and availability of library services designed to meet the needs of cultural and linguistic minorities.

The Section is striving to share its experience in library services to multicultural populations in view of the necessity to ensure that every member in our global society has access to a full range of library and information services. In order to achieve this, it promotes international cooperation in this field. More information can be found on the webpage http://www.ifla.org/VII/s32/index.htm
