Winner Blurb: 

This project will investigate the connection between library services to Latino and Spanish-speaking residents and anti-immigration laws that promote racial profiling and negative community attitudes towards new and “foreign” residents.  In addition, the project will result in a current anti-immigration toolkit for librarians struggling to serve all the residents of their communities.
