The article in the magazine:
Vesna Crnkovic, the Jagodina Library director, rose the
village libraries in the Pomoravski district from the ashes. She
enriched the libraries with books, computers and the Internet. She
taught more than 200 farmers to use a mouse and a computer.
On the website www.agrolib.rs there is the marketplace that farmers use to trade online.
-
When I became a director eight years ago, the libraries in our
municipality were in terrible condition. Books were not purchased for
years, the libraries were open from time to time, because people did not
get their salaries.
The town could not help and it was then
that Vesna heard at a meting that the international organization EIFL
announced a call for proposals for innovative projects and that ten
projects would be selected and awarded $30,000. She applied with the
idea "Agrolib", and on 3 April 2010, for her 43rd birthday, she found out
that the project proposal was accepted. Five rural libraries got books,
magazines and novels, computers and free Internet!
For the very first computer training in the village of Glogovac, there were 5 farmers who applied, but did not show up!
- It was a defeat. But we did not give up.
The
project AgroLib was the first of its kind in the world. Its authors did
not have other projects to replicate, and now others learn from them,
and today there are rural electronic libraries in Lithuania, Latvia
and Macedonia. And there will be more such libraries in Serbia.
