Nearly 1,200 events attended by over 40,000 people, more than 90 innovative services, 215 new products and tools: these numbers are a testimony to the shift of attitude of the renewed Lithuanian libraries towards their visitors and the community. All these changes were partially a result of the three-year Libraries for Innovation 2 project initiated by the Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania.

This year Christmas of Books has responded to the initiative “For a Safe Lithuania” and its invitation to reduce social exclusion. The highlight is placed on books that change life.
