The Greek society is undergoing a profound socio-economic crisis that we all live in our daily lives. Counterweight to this crisis, in every society, are education and culture.

There are rumors about closure and merging of public libraries in Greece, institutions that exist for decades serving local communities, providing services to all citizens, regardless their age, educational level, gender, race or beliefs.

The Association of Greek Librarians and Information Scientists (EEBEP) invites you, the citizens of Greece, Europe and the world, to sign this petition in order to help us highlight the significant contribution and necessity of our libraries.
