Dear Colleagues,

On 5 February the General Director of Statens musikverk, Stina Westerberg announced punitive budget cuts to Sweden’s national music library, Musik- och teaterbibliotek, which involve the loss of 25% of its workforce.

If you would like to protest against this, please copy the text below and send it to:

 I want to inform You with pride that Armenia is the first country in the territory of Transcaucasia to found the Armenian Association of Music Libraries (AAML).
Our association was confirmed  on 25.01.2013.

Best regards,

Gulo Nahatakyan
Musicological Library of Armenia, Director
