At this time in American history, our country is becoming increasingly diverse and the need for understanding of all cultural traditions is of immense importance.

"Becoming American – New Immigration Stories" is a project designed to provide libraries throughout the United States with a selection of excellent books on immigrant literature for adults and families. The reading lists and resources on this Web site have been developed to help librarians engage their communities in reading and discussing important texts containing rich and deep insights into our vibrant tradition of immigrant literature.
