Library Manifesto for Europe #europe4libraries2019 #EuropeDay2019

Today is Europe Day, and elections for the European Parliament take place on 22 May, so there is a theme of "This time I'm voting". 

IFLA (International Federation of Library Associations ad Institutions), in partnership with  has produced a Library Manifesto for Europe, with materials available in different European languages. The Manifesto asserts the value of libraries to Europe, and of Europe to libraries, and states that: "We want a Europe that:
- "Guarantees that everyone, at any time in their lives, is able to learn, read, and develop through libraries"
- "Places access at the heart of its action on culture, science and innovation"
- "Commits fully to delivering the UN Sustainable Development Goals and promotes access to information in its accession and development initiatives"
