Novateca invites you to better get to know Moldovan librarians. The following interview is with Galina Agafița, Director of Călărași Raion Public Library who is proactive and initiates partnerships that help develop new services at the library.

On the eve of the International Women's Day, March 8, Novateca is pleased to publish two success stories of unique services provided by the public libraries of Rezina town and of Moleşti village, Ialoveni district. These services help encourage and empower women from rural communities and contribute to the development and modernization of libraries in Moldova.

Novateca congratulates all women of Moldovan public libraries and thanks you for your contribution to the modernization of libraries and to the community support!

Today the Ministry of Culture and the Novateca program announced the raions selected to join the growing network of modern libraries offering new services to their communities in Moldova. In this selection round, over 350 new public libraries will be equipped with more than 1200 computers that will offer free public access to the internet. More importantly, more than 350 librarians will receive trainings in IT and the development of new library services.

Last week, the director of the Novateca program, visited several public libraries from Rezina raion, that turns out to be one of the best raions that joined the program.

Mr. Tracz visited the Raion Public Library “Mihai Eminescu” and the public libraries from the villages of Țareuca and Trifești, which also benefited from Novateca investments.

Meet Nicoleta Arnăut, the pupil who though seems shy, inspired us with her talent and energy to support the library’s programs and change things and the library’s image in her community. Nicoleta engages in many activities carried out by the public library and takes part in transforming the library into a vibrant institution, which offers interesting and useful services and activities both for young users, as well as for older ones.
