  • The REFORMA Children in Crisis (CIC) Project Has Been Moving Even More Quickly These Days to Address the an Ever Expanding Range of Immigrant Needs Across the Country
    The REFORMA Children in Crisis (CIC) project has been moving even more quickly these days to address the an ever expanding range of immigrant needs across the country. Since 2014 when Oralia Garza de Cortés and Lucía González first raised their voices and formed the Children in Crisis project at the REFORMA Membership Meeting at the 2014 ALA Conference in Las Vegas, we have been delivering books to the children and connecting them with libraries. Our efforts have involved a number of REFORMA Chapters using various strategies. Recently, with the family separation tragedy and the caravan arrivals, angered citizens have been searching for ways to assist the children and their families from Central America who seek asylum at our southern border. We are one of the projects they have selected as a way to express their concern. Historically, Silvia Cisneros, Past President of REFORMA flew to McAllen, Texas where she donated the first shipment of books to the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) station. From there we began planning a strategy that would allow us to reach out to detention centers in Texas, shelters in California and we formed many alliances along the way. Thanks to grants from the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY), the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) and the Believe in Reading Foundation, the Children in Crisis project has been able to purchase and donate books to various shelters and facilities across the country. REFORMA and IBBY met in Texas at the border in McAllen for a fact finding mission in 2015.
