To the Librarians of Ukraine
I am happy to greet you and wide readership with the All-Ukrainian Library Day. It is a holiday of intellect and humanism, eternal human striving for wisdom, knowledge, and spiritual wealth of the nation and the whole world.
The mission of your occupation and library network is to satisfy such demands, and raise the level of education and culture in the society. It is a powerful and invaluable link between the past and the present, a priceless way of enrichment by the experience of past generations and achievements of other countries and nations.
Thank you that you remain professional despite the hardships and problems. One of the parliament´s priorities is to support the conditions when social prestige, moral and material support of library services meet their role, functions and tasks.
I wish you all the best!
Volodymyr LYTVYN
