Hello
My name is Helen Carpenter. In the UK, I work as Project Co-ordinator of Welcome To Your Library, a project to connect public libraries with refugees and asylum seekers. The project is funded through the Paul Hamlyn Foundation and co-ordinated by the London Libraries Development Agency.
Through the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust I have been awarded a Travel Fellowship for 2007 on The Role of Public Libraries in Multicultural Relationships and will be visiting Canada, USA, Sweden, the Netherlands and Belgium.
The purpose of this blog is to capture and share some of my reflections on this topic while I am travelling (from June 2007).
hi Helen!
Good luck with your travels and research!
Helen,
An interesting Blog. It was nice meeting you and introducing you to the New York Public Library at the Bronx Library Center.
Best wishes,
Pam
Helen, I’m pleased to have found your blog as I was researching multicultural libraries. I work in a library in Valencia, Spain, on multicultural projects. Could you give me your email address so that I can send you an email that I have been sending out to libraries in Europe?
Thanks very much
Gisela
Hello – fantastic blog. I’ve got an interview next week for a WCMT grant to research gallery education in New York and Paris. Its been really inspiring and useful to read about your travels.
