DONATE TO EIFL
Welcome to our first newsletter of 2022! We take pleasure in sharing news about the three winners - from Bangladesh, Kenya and Uganda - of the EIFL Public Library Innovation Award for supporting education recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic. We announce projects to advance open access publishing in five countries. And, as the number of countries joining the Marrakesh Treaty tops 100, we discuss the next phase - implementing the treaty into national law so that people with print disabilities can make practical use of the treaty, and libraries can step up their services to deliver materials into the hands of print-disabled readers. Read about all our events, past and present. Enjoy the issue!
