Services to Black and Asian readers

At a Branching Out workshop, librarians discussed their current work with Black and Asian readers and identified gaps in provision. 

The workshop identified, and attempted to answer, some of the questions that participants felt were common to many library services.  Their advice and experience is gathered together here in an attempt to open up the issues and contribute to improving library services for Black and Asian readers.
