Polish Bookshelf in Ukraine – 1420 libraries, 30 thousand books
By the end of the year, almost 30,000 Polish books translated into Ukrainian will have reached 1,420 libraries in Ukraine. The aim of the Ukrainian edition of the Book Institute's Polish Bookshelf project is to reach as many readers as possible, promote knowledge about Poland, our culture and history, shape a positive image of Poland, and support the Ukrainian book market. Readers from across our eastern border will be able to get acquainted with, among others, the works of classics by Józef Czapski, Henryk Sienkiewicz, Zbigniew Herbert, Ryszard Kapuściński, while the youngest will be able to read books by Justyna Bednarek, Janusz Korczak, and Dorota Terakowska. The Ukrainian Book Institute is a partner in the project. The details of the project were presented by the director of the Book Institute, Dariusz Jaworski, at a press briefing last week.

Initiatives
Small Book – Great Man
The social campaign "Small Book – Great Man" reminds us of the benefits of reading together in a family from the first months of a child's life. It was devised in connection with a nationwide campaign, as part of which young parents will receive unique Reading Layettes in maternity wards.
CZYTAJ PL
The largest readership promotion campaign in Poland, and probably in the world. In this year's edition, in 500 cities and towns, there could be found free e-book rentals, available for everyone. They were available at bus stops, libraries, and cultural institutions. The Book Institute is a strategic partner of the campaign.
