What's Happening at the State Library
by Nancy Bolt
Bulgarian Update
Two wonderful events occurred just before Christmas.
First, we were notified by the National Commission Libraries and Information Science that we have been accepted as a participant in the Sister Libraries: White House Millennium Council Project. This is for our work with Bulgarian libraries. There will be a Sister Libraries International Conference in Denver in July 2000 at which time we will receive a plaque for our work.
It's also exciting to know the conference will be in Denver. I will see if I can find the exact dates and if they need any local help.
The second exciting event was the arrival of profiles of six Bulgarian public libraries who would like partners. They have provided information about each of the libraries and we are now looking for partners.
I will be sending an e-mail to each of the libraries, asking them specifically what kind of assistance they would like. I'll post the results. If information about one of the libraries strikes your fancy and you feel your library would like to become it's partner, let me know. I'll be glad to help make the connection.
The six libraries are:
- Dora Gabe Regional Library in Dobrich, Bulgaria
- Zaharii Knyazheski Regional Library in Stara Zagora
- P. K. Yavorov Regional Library in Bourgas
- Central Library of Sofia in Sofia
- P. R. Slaveykov Library in Veliko Turnovo
- Pencho Slaveykov Public Library in Varna
You can find out additional information about each of these libraries by clicking on the names. The pictures are from my own collection of the library or the town.
