Call for Contributions – Plant a Seed of Knowledge!

On the 1st of September, 2007 the regional eco-library opened its doors in
the town of Vanadzor, Lori Marz of Armenia. The eco-library offers to the
public a growing collection of materials inviting students, researchers,
schoolchildren and just any interested individual to enrich his or her
knowledge in the fields of Environmental Science, Forestry and Natural
Resource Management.

The eco-library is already open to contributions and donations! We welcome
contributions in different forms from cash to books, journals, magazines,
and other materials in the field of Environmental Science! There is no lower
limit to a possible contribution as every dram counts for this nascent
library.
