The latest instalment of Meet the National Libraries aired on April 22nd at 10:00 am US Central Time / 4:00 pm Central European Time.  The National Library of the Czech Republic was the latest to feature on this ongoing series.

The Slavic Reference Service, working in collaboration with the National Libraries Section, is introducing a new webinar series, Meet the National Libraries. The extraordinary contributions of national libraries play an important role in maintaining the vast network of libraries and scholarly communities around the world. Numerous search tools, digital collections, national bibliographies, and portals have been introduced. By featuring national libraries, we hope to make them more accessible.
