Lithuanian libraries expand community services and accessibility

Public libraries in Lithuania are expanding their community services and accessibility offerings. In the Pasvalys district, libraries are hosting various educational programs, including digital literacy courses, 3D drawing workshops using the ‘QUIVER 3D’ app, and creative workshops. The libraries also provide support for Ukrainian refugees and offer services such as book delivery and access to premium news portals.

In Ukmergė, the Lithuanian Audiosensory Library branch focuses on serving individuals with visual impairments or reading disabilities like dyslexia. The facility operates as a specialized unit that not only lends materials but also functions as a publishing department. They convert standard printed books into audiobooks or digital EPUB formats to ensure reading accessibility for all.
