SALEM, Ore. - On Tuesday, Feb. 5 the State Library of Oregon will be hosting a group of visitors from Uzbekistan who want to learn more about library management. The group has an interest in programs designed for those with disabilities, particularly the Talking Books and Braille Library services for people with visual impairments, or physical or reading disabilities. The group will also be touring the State Archives.
The visitors, recognized as leaders or emerging leaders in their field in their home country were invited by the U.S. Department of State, through the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), to spend three weeks connecting with their professional counterparts across the country.
As stated in their fact sheet, “the goal of the IVLP is to provide firsthand knowledge about U.S. society, culture, and politics, while cultivating lasting relationships. By connecting current and emerging foreign leaders with their American counterparts, IVLP fosters lasting relationships and helps strengthen U.S. engagement with countries around the world.”
