This is the essence of library service. Today is a real holiday for schoolchildren in Lutsk. With the assistance and financial support of the city authorities and the US Embassy in Ukraine, they received as a gift a newly renovated children's library premises, where an Internet center has also been opened. \n During the grand opening of the Internet center, Lutsk Mayor Anton Kryvytskyi noted, in particular, that the library is the beginning of knowledge for every person, their spiritual growth. And it is no wonder that in light of information progress, responding to the needs of society, the library strives to provide us with access to the widest possible range of information resources. This is precisely the goal pursued by the employees of the city's library system when they actively participated in the competition for a grant from the US Embassy's "Internet for Readers" Program. \n US Embassy Press, Education and Culture Advisor Janet Demirey greeted guests and friends of the library in sincere Ukrainian and announced that the Lutsk Central Library for Children made it into the top 16 out of more than 100 libraries in Ukraine and rightfully received a grant for free Internet services. Janet Demirey also thanked the Lutsk city authorities, represented by Anton Fedorovych, for their initiative and concern in matters of children's access to the global network, and emphasized that such participation contributes to even greater trust in the city authorities. \n The Internet center is the first in Lutsk. It was created with the purpose of providing every user of the branch libraries of the Lutsk City Centralized Library System with free (no-cost) access to world information resources via the Internet computer network, especially for people with disabilities. This was emphasized, in particular, by Halyna Kyrychuk, deputy manager of the Volyn Regional Branch of the Social Protection Fund for Persons with Disabilities. \n The project manager, head of the working group for the implementation of the "Internet for Readers of Public Libraries" project in Lutsk, Olha Herasymchuk, also thanked the city authorities, the US Embassy in Ukraine, as well as the project's numerous partners – VAT "Ukrtelecom," PE "Computer World," and the Olena Pchilka Regional Scientific Library – for such a wonderful gift and invited everyone interested to join the ranks of readers. \n The Internet center operates at the address: Lutsk, Hrushevskoho Ave., 1. \n
