As a follow-up of activities on implementing the National Libraries Awareness Day, one of the most important activities of the project ERASMUS+ Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) - „Library Network Support Services (LNSS): Modernizing libraries in Western Balkan countries through staff development and reforming library services“, in the UNSA Rectorate on Friday, 16 June 2017 a second meeting with potential partner institutions was held.

The goal of the LNAD is to remind citizens of the importance of libraries in building a knowledge society. On 8 September 2017, the Sarajevo Canton partners will participate in the promotion of their services, offering various educational contents (promotions, poetry evenings, roundtables, exhibitions, etc.) to citizens (national, higher education, school, public and special). The project envisages a strong promotion of libraries, library services and information and library sciences in general.

Prof. Dr. Maida Cohodar Husic, UNSA Vice-Rector for Quality addressed the participants and expressed the satisfaction that the University of Sarajevo is a partner in a project promoting the importance of libraries.

Doz. Dr. Lejla Hajdarpasic, Erasmus+ coordinator for the University of Sarajevo, emphasized that libraries and information experts are an important constituent of democratic processes, and that this project deals not only with strategic operations in libraries, but also with awareness of the important role of libraries and information professionals in the modern information space.

Presentation of the LNAD Day was held by Mr. Sc. Nadina Grebovic-Lendo, UNSA Faculty of Philosophy Library Head and NLAD action group chair, highlighting the importance of engagement of partner institutions and giving instructions on the possibilities of marking this day at partner institutions. The central event “Walk for libraries” will be held at Vilsonovo setaliste, which supported Mr. Sci. Nedzad Koldzo, novo Sarajevo Municipality mayor, and a round table entitled “Quality Management in Higher Education Libraries” will be held as a central activity at the UNSA.
