Partnering with Global Link
In 2022 Lancaster University partnered with Global Link and community members to create a collection of ESOL Books that can be borrowed by the local Refugee/Asylum Seeker (RAS) community using Community card membership of Lancaster University Library. Campus visits were organised and we welcomed our first community group to the Library in September 2022.
Building on this partnership with Global Link, we partnered with the University of Cumbria library, sharing our resources, enabling them to mirror our collection and offer to the RAS community. The next logical step was speaking to LCC libraries, especially Central Library in Lancaster joining up the dots so to speak. We now have a cohesive library offer to the RAS community, offering safe/warm spaces and resources to help with English language learning.
