ESSI Partners with U.S. Library of Congress

ESSI has recieved has recently achieved recognition of their project proposal and been selected as become a Center for the Book Reading Promotion Partner by the US Library of Congress Center for the Book.

In order to fulfil its mandate, ESSI seeks to unlock the unrealized potential in the European Small States by promoting literacy, books, and reading in all ways; in pragmatic terms through book distribution and donation, but also through the advanced study of book and library history, storytelling, and writers and writing.

As a Center for the Book Reading Partner, ESSI will further its commitment to promoting books, reading, literacy, and libraries in European small states; and around the world. This would include co-sponsoring projects with partner organizations at the local, national, regional, and global levels.

​Clearly, partnering with the Center for the Book offers great possibilities for sharing and collaboration among such entities that would certainly maximize the efforts of all concerned.

ESSI is excited by the opportunity to explore further partnerships not only with the Center, but with its affiliates across the United States and with current national and international reading promotion partners.​
