Indianapolis Public Library partners with Immigrant Welcome Center to assist non-English speaking citizens
As part of The Indianapolis Public Library's strategic goal of introducing new immigrants and non-English speaking citizens to relevant community services and resources, the Library has joined with the Immigrant Welcome Center in Indianapolis to present the "Immigrant Welcome Center Mobile Branches" at several Indianapolis Public Library locations throughout the year.
