    ARMENIA'S REGIONAL LIBRARIES NOT REPLENISHED WITH NEW LITERATURE

    ARKA News Agency, Armenia
    April 12 2006

    YEREVAN, April 11. /ARKA/. Armenia's regional libraries are not
    replenished with new literature, Director of the Yerevan Library
    after Isahakyan Asmik Karapetyan told a press conference.

    According to her, implementation of the law on free provision of one
    copy of the entire new printed output of the country for republican
    libraries can solve the problem with the replenishment of all large
    and small libraries with literature.

    "Up to now the law was practically not observed, and the process of
    supplying libraries with new books is very improper," she pointed
    out and added that libraries tried to bridge the information gap on
    their own.

    Karapetyan reported that as part of the library week, representatives
    of the Armenian Library Association granted some regional and rural
    libraries modern literature. Besides, the government's approach to
    library employees and libraries, according to her, is characterized
    by adoption of the law on celebrating the day of the librarian.

    Since October 7, 2004, the day of the librarian has been officially
    celebrated. The law "On Free Compulsory Provision of Document Copy"
    was adopted in November 2005.

    "The National Library Week" was held in Armenia on 3-10 April. The
    activity has been held for the fifth time on the initiative of the
    "Armenian Library Association".
