Mr. Orishchenko is asking for assistance to organize tours of the company.

Kharkiv is the second largest city in Ukraine and is situated very close to the Russian border.

I forward an appeal of the Presidium of the Ukrainian Library Association and express my deepest sympathy with our brave colleagues in Ukraine. The letter is such a strong and moving statement on the importance of libraries in times of crisis, as well as in peace. I send warm greetings from IAML to the library community in Ukraine. Our thoughts are with you!
