The continuing education for Ukrainian librarians



In 2000 the Center for the Continuing Library and Information Science Education was created jointly by the ULA and the National Academy of Administrators in Culture and the Arts.

So over the last 12 years thousands of Ukrainian librarians have taken part in the trainings, workshops, conferences, and fairs, among others.



The new period of the continuing education has begun since 2009 with the launch of the Bibliomist Program in Ukraine.

The National Training Center (NTC) in Kyiv and 24 Regional Training Centers (RTC) were established and created the All-Ukrainian professional educational network for librarians.

Success stories from trained librarians

“When I first came to study at the Training center, I did not even know how to use the mouse, and now I`m running the blog of my library”.



“After completion of my training, I had an idea to open ‘A Library without Walls’ and reach out to users and offer it next to the playground in our area”.



“Learned not only to use the Internet, but also improved my communication with readers and colleagues and created more partnerships”.


Next Steps

Designing 3 more training courses, for example, Library and e-governance

In addition to the Bibliomist Program participants, training a wider librarian audience.
