Media about the Library

      

This is how we got all eyes on us regarding media coverage of the Jagodina Library success at WSIS (World Summit of the Information Society).  National TV station RTS and a local TV station broadcast the news that the Jagodina Library was awarded by WSIS. Also, both local and national newspapers wrote about the award.

 The headline Every year- international award in the most read newspaper Politika suggests that the AgroLib Ja project, started by the library in 2010, has been recognized worldwide.

      According to Ms Vesna Crnkovic, the director of the library, this is the third international award for the AgroLib Ja project. It means visibility around the globe, because the project idea of revitalizing rural libraries in the municipality of Jagodina would be available in numerous scientific journals, forums and at the website of WSIS. She hopes that the project would get more international attention of funders and governments, and of course, of the Serbian government.             

    What the director of the library highlights as the most important service that the network of five rural libraries offers  is the online marketplace AgroLib pijaca for showcasing farmers’ produce, old crafts and village tourism.
