On September 15, 2022, we collected and handed over UAH 430,000 to 200 librarians. We also regularly hand over medicines, hygiene products and products to librarians. One library family was sheltered in Lviv and helped with treatment.
We received more than 400 applications from librarians in need.
We would like to thank those who contributed, namely Fundatia Progress Bistrita, the Romanian NGDO Platform - FOND, the trade union of the Lviv Regional Library for Children, the Lviv Reformed Church of the Holy Trinity (money, products, basic necessities), "Help for Ukraine", as well as many benefactors - Ukrainian and European librarian colleagues!
