    UN OFFICE IN ARMENIA DONATES BOOKS TO NATIONAL LIBRARY OF ARMENIA

    Tert.am
    19.04.10

    UN Office in Armenia donated more than 6 000 UN publications to the
    National Library of Armenia with the aim to disseminate the books
    within the community libraries of Armenia.

    This initiative was supported by the UN Department of Public
    Information (UN DPI) together with the National Library of Armenia
    within the framework of " Library Week in Armenia" (from 12 to 19
    April) and World Book and Copyright Day (April 23).

    Dafina Gercheva, UN Resident Coordinator said: "Community libraries
    are often the only cultural hubs in some Armenian cities and they
    are lacking funding and new stocks. The difficult situation of these
    community libraries is in the focus of UN DPI and we are happy to
    support efforts of the National Library of Armenia and the Library
    Association. Now journalists, students, municipal authorities and
    researches will have a direct access to the UN publications in
    Armenian, English and Russian languages."

    Davit Sarksyan, Director of the National Library of Armenia in turn
    said: "Thanks to the UN DPI for joining us and organizing this unique
    book donation. The UN DPI's donations to the community libraries are
    extremely valuable, since these libraries are always in need for new
    materials and the people in communities often don't have access to
    the latest news and publications."
