World Refugee Day is a United Nations initiative designed to increase public awareness about the forcibly displaced and stateless by telling their powerful personal stories. In an effort to promote this United Nations initiative, Wollongong Library will be attaching a number of suggested titles available to assist children in understanding of the plight of refugees.
