It is estimated that around 300,000 people have crossed into Moldova from Ukraine, since the war broke out, and more than 100,000 of them have stayed in the area. The whole country showed its support for the Ukrainian refugees, but the Moldavian libraries have embraced their role as havens.

The Association of Librarians from the Republic of Moldova is inviting you to be part of a free and online session that will also be translated into Romanian & Ukrainian, where you can learn more about libraries as leaders of community support from our speakers. Discover how local libraries have adapted their mission during this unprecedented time!
