The award-winning Welcoming Library: Traveling Collection —with an Official Commendation from the American Association of School Librarians for “building a stronger culture of welcoming and belonging”—includes:
- 30 Acclaimed Picture Books featuring the lives of Immigrant & New Generation families.

The questions have been vetted by immigrant community members and are deeply appreciated by educators for guiding needed conversations.

- Book Processing that highlights the mission of the collection, including a cover sticker with the phrase “I’m Your Neighbor” written in 10 languages, a spine label, a bookplate, and mylar book covers.
- Two Totes to move or ship books, the display, and all support materials between locations.
