Project Overview

Children and adolescents in Ukraine need hope and opportunities in times of war. With your support, I would like to motivate young people in my home village of Putylovychi to read by modernizing the school library. Education is the key to a self-determined life.

Day of Libraries in Ukraine

Today is the Day of Libraries in Ukraine. What a compelling reason to celebrate and to say the words of gratitude to everyone involved in the library world. Times are very hard now in Ukraine, but librarians continue doing their great job. As the wholescale war began, many libraries served as a shelter to displaced people, organized volunteer work, provided people with food, helped them with different problems such as finding social and financial support and provided them with free internet and necessary infrastructure.

Some of the libraries remained more traditional and simply delight their patrons with books. This should not be underestimated since people need emotional recharge and distraction from what is happening around them.

I am incredibly happy about the success of the project “Thousand Books”. I would like to express my genuine gratitude to everyone who supported this library project.

Our renewed and cozy library would not become a reality without the patience and hard work of the school librarian, without the creativity and excellent skills of the local craftsman, the brilliant ideas and help of the school teachers and the village mayor, the tireless support of my family, friends, and colleagues, and their faith in me and this project, and especially without the trust and financial support of many people who boosted the project.

When I hear that the kids are running to the library on every single break at school to spend their time there rummaging the library shelves and reading the books we have purchased, I am endlessly happy and content with the first results. But there are many other things we want and will do to foster literacy and give the children the opportunities for a better life.

Happy Ukrainian Libraries Day!
