Seasons greetings from the EIFL team! In this issue, we invite public libraries to apply for the new EIFL Public Library Innovation Award. We are delighted to announce the birth of a new library consortium in Myanmar, and present a round-up of a busy week at WIPO’s Copyright Committee. We’ve extended our Give a Child in Africa the Gift of Reading fundraising campaign till the end of the year - so there’s still time to give. A big thank you to everyone who has donated - we’ve raised enough money for over 600 new books!

You can view all of our November/December events.
