An information of the presidency of the association of austrian librarians (VÖB):

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Dear Colleagues,

VÖB joins the statements published by IFLA, Eblida, NAPLE and the Ukrainian Library Association on the attack on Ukraine.

Libraries are always places of free, democratic and public access to knowledge but also of free expression. These basic principles are even more important in the current situation, as they allow people to form their opinions freely and without control. The attack on Ukraine, which we as VÖB strongly condemn, also represents an attack on these values.

IFLA Statement on Ukraine

Ukrainian Library Association

Press release from NAPLE, EBLIDA und Public Libraries 2030

The barbaric attack of the Russian Federation against Ukraine is against the basic principles of a sustainable, democratic and equitable society.

In response to the appeal launched by the Ukrainian Library Association, EBLIDA, NAPLE and Public Libraries 2030 urge libraries all over Europe to mobilise in favour of accurate information to be spread on the conflict as a means to support democracy and freedom of expression. Libraries are also urged to support any Ukrainian refugees, in collaboration with governmental and non-governmental organisations (for instance, Sanctuary cities, Sant’Egidio community, etc.). We should be ready to find practical solutions and be prepared to provide Ukrainians with assistance and services as needed.

To complement this, EBLIDA has built a website that supports the networking of libraries' outreach activities: http://www.eblida.org/libraries-for-ukraine.html
