Closer Ties: National Central Library Donates Books to Russian State Children’s Library

August 30, 2011 was an important day culturally for Taiwan and Russia. With an inviting atmosphere and many dignitaries in attendance, National Central Library donated 263 children’s books published in Taiwan to the Russian State Children’s Library. After the donation, both parties formally signed a cooperative agreement. The donation ceremony was conducted by the Taiwan ambassador to Russia Chen Chun-hsien. NCL Director-genreral Tseng Shu-hsien presented the books to Galina A. Kislovskaya, the director of the Russian State Children’s Library. Ambassador Chen emphasized in his remarks that Russia is a country that places high emphasis on reading. The donation helps promote culture exchange between the two countries. Director Kislovskaya expressed appreciation for the donation and for the First Lady of Taiwan’s willingness to read to children in the library in 2010. He believes these acts help Russian children better understand foreign countries and help broaden their vision. Because of this, the donated books will be shared with other Russian libraries. Director-general Tseng stated that both Russia and Taiwan have an abundance of quality children’s literature and that with assistance from publishers, these books can be shared with more readers. Also, there is much to learn from each other in promoting reading.
