Veria Central Public Library, Greece - 2010 Access to Learning Award

The Veria Central Public Library has emerged as a leader in Greece by offering a range of services and programs for children and adults, and helping other libraries replicate its success. Its creative use of information and technology services meet the economic, educational, and cultural needs of more than 180,000 people.

For librarians living in North America what Veria Public Library did is just regular business, but in Southern and Eastern Europe libraries are very different. Veria Public Library is indeed an innovator in library service in that part of the world.

Of particular interest should also be the open children's area with comfortable listening stations. That may even be for us North Americans a little step forward.
