Italian libraries play a crucial role in immigrant integration ('integrazione'). Italy has received significant immigration since the 1990s and libraries are key points of contact for 'mediazione culturale' (cultural mediation). Many Italian libraries have multilingual collections ('collezioni multilingue') and staff who speak Arabic, Chinese, Romanian, and other widely spoken immigrant languages.
