Citizenship Corners

Citizenship Corner is a nationally recognized term used to identify spaces dedicated to supporting immigrants and non-native English speakers on their path to legal U.S. citizenship. These designated areas can be found in select public libraries across Oklahoma and are marked by banners and displays. Each Citizenship Corner provides access to computers with bookmarked, trusted websites, official U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) materials, and other resources that guide individuals through the legal naturalization process.

Services include citizenship classes, conversation classes, English/Spanish classes, study pairs, one to one tutoring, brochures, and other outreach efforts and community collaborations. Participants may review citizenship study materials, practice listening and responding to citizenship interview questions, access online practice tests, and receive guidance throughout the application process.

The project is funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) which announced a national collaboration with USCIS to enhance the resources available in libraries throughout the country and strengthen the ability of librarians to guide immigrants to the most accurate and current information available.
