The UN Office in Armenia donated books to the UN Depository Library,
located at the National Library of Armenia (NLA) today, while
celebrating the 64th anniversary of the UN.
UN Depositories are established in many countries and their aim is
to provide the public with information about the UN, about what is
going on in the world and the UN Member States.
The NLA UN Depository Library stock contains more than ten thousand
books, journals, posters and other UN materials. They are mainly in
English, Russian and Armenian languages. The stock is continuously
being updated by the UN Headquarters and the UN Department of Public
Information Office in Yerevan.
Consuelo Vidal, UN Resident Coordinator said: "This is an important
week for us at the UN, as we are celebrating the 64th birthday of
the UN. I am sure that the library users will have now even better
opportunity to learn more about the work of the UN in general and
about our concrete achievements in Armenia."
"Our cooperation with the UN Armenia Office, especially with
the UN Department of Public Information Office in Yerevan is very
productive.. Today's UN Day is special for us, as the part of the UN
Reference Library collection is being donated to our library. We are
sure it will serve as an additional stimulus to raise the awareness
of UN. We appreciate this initiative and look forward to continue
our cooperation with the UN Armenia Office", said Mr. Davit Sargsyan,
the Director of the Armenian National Library.
Representatives from different institutions, librarians, civil
society activists and media took part at the event and watched the
UN publications' exhibition at the UN Depository Reading Room.
The Armenian National Library holds one of two UN Depositories in
Armenia. It was established in 1997 and the first UN Depository was
established in Armenian State University in 1995. Both UN libraries
were established with the help of the UN Department of Public
Information Office in Yerevan.
