Großes Europäisches Kooperationsprojekt
Im Teilprogramm KULTUR des EU-Kulturförderprogramms Kreatives Europa können Bibliotheken finanzielle Unterstützung für kleine und große Kooperationsprojekte sowie für Europäische Netzwerke beantragen. Für ein großes Kooperationsprojekt, bei dem die Zusammenarbeit von mindestens 3 Partner erforderlich ist, sucht der finnische Projektkoordinator, die Vantaa city library, noch Mitstreiter.
Auszug aus der Projektbeschreibung:
„Multidisciplinary Development project: Libraries as Publishing Centers for Local and Small Editions Literature
As all well know, lots of valuable works fall annoyingly outside the traditional publishing field just because they are not selling enough to make profits for publishing companies. Libraries, which are a traditional part of distribution chain of books, are forced to cut down their services (through cutbacks in the number of qualified staff as well as acquisition) while they should instead support their local communities in storytelling and orderly dissemination of knowledge. Clearly variety ways of publishing and the versatile infrastructure of libraries do not meet. Both problems can be solved creatively by broadening the scope of libraries to more multidisciplinary fora of literary culture.“
