Storytime Resources in Spanish
While REFORMA members from around the country would love to enter the detention facilities and work directly with the children held there, that is not possible at this time. We are looking for REFORMISTAS who can add to the on-line resources listed below. These sites are intended to provide the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) personnel and other social service agencies with on-line video and audio resources in Spanish that can be used with the unaccompanied refugee children. We would also like to make available library contact information for the children who are released from detention so that they and their caregivers understand that public libraries in the United States are places where anyone can go and get information that will help them in their lives.
For the social service agencies and faith-based organizations that may be providing shelter to these children after their processing, our local REFORMA chapters would like to volunteer our members to help provide storytime and library activities in your faciilities. Please review the list of local chapter contacts at the REFORMA web page to find REFORMA members in your community.
