Librarian Newsletter: May 2022
Greetings!

Books have the power to simultaneously bring us together and take us to far off places, and this month we feature tools to help you do both. Plus, an original interview with Ukrainian publisher Vivat about the company's efforts to continue operations during the Russian invasion, the increased international demand for Ukrainian books, and its authors fighting on the front lines.

And we invite you to join us for one of our upcoming webinars for librarians. We hope to see you there!


Elena Spagnolie, Library Specialist

Vivat is Ukraine's second largest publisher, based in Kharkiv in the northeast, near the border with Russia.

Vivat CEO Julia Orlova talks with BookBrowse about the company's efforts to continue operations during the Russian invasion, the increased international demand for Ukrainian books, and its authors fighting on the front lines.
