On the Day of Unity of the Peoples of Belarus and Russia, the countries continue to expand partnership in scientific, educational and cultural spheres. The National Library signed a cooperation agreement with the Boris Yeltsin Presidential Library and opened a remote access point to its electronic reading room.
Vadim Gigin, Director General of the National Library of Belarus:
“It is famous for being not only one of the foremost libraries in the Russian Federation, but also in the world in promoting library resources. They work with different categories: children, they have a program for military personnel, civil servants, researchers. The main thing is to ensure the continuity of generations. So that the memory of the Great Victory, the brotherhood of our peoples would be preserved for the next generations. This is the main goal that we set for ourselves when implementing cultural cooperation.”
The Russians have also signed an agreement with the Presidential Library of Belarus. These two largest book depositories have been cooperating for many years and fruitfully. The main goal is to preserve the historical and scientific heritage of Russia and Belarus, as well as to exchange experience. Now more than one million electronic documents will be available for the residents of our country.
