LIBRARY: CROSSROADS OF CULTURES

Yerkir/am
March 17, 2006

Organized by the Armenian Library Association, the National Library
Week will be held in April under the motto “Library: Crossroads
of Cultures.”

Along with Armenian libraries, this year, a number of Diaspora
libraries will also participate in the event.

During the week, meetings will be held with prominent artists as well
as state officials. Book fairs will also be organized. A competition
of essays titled “My Book,” and “My Library” will be announced in
the schools of Armenia.

The organizers will help the libraries to restore the lost literature
at the libraries. Monetary and publishing incentives are also planned.

Several scientific and publishing houses will also attend the event.

The Armenian Library Association and the initiative group of the
National Library Week have called on all interested organizations and
individuals to support and assist the event to form a more civilized
and educated society.
