Immigration and Citizenship Services

The term Citizenship Corner is used across the country to indicate an area designated to serve non-native speakers. These areas can be found in some of the public libraries in the state. They are marked with banners and displays and are equipped with computers with bookmarked websites, United States citizenship and Immigration Services materials, and other materials that may be of interest.

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. See more on IMLS and immigration.
