    However, the existing libraries fail to operate normally. The Library
    Week held by the Armenian Association of Libraries for five years
    now helps to have a closer look at the problems of libraries. Visits
    to the regions revealed that besides bad conditions of premises,
    shortage of books and low salary many libraries do not open for days
    because there are no readers. Davit Sargsyan, President of the AAL,
    Director of the National Library, thinks the solution of the problem
    is government care. There is no law on libraries, which would raise
    the problems of libraries.

    The deputy director of the National Library Rafik Ghazaryan suggests
    that the government should allocate funds from the state budget to
    solve the problems of libraries.

    The purpose of the library week is to return readers to books, and
    make the library a place of civilized communication. The initiators
    are satisfied with this year's Library Week. About 18 events were held
    at Khenko Apor Children's Library, 200 events were held in the regions.
