          AN INVITATION TO THE UKRAINIAN LIBRARY IN MOSCOW

        The Ukrainian Library reopened on Dec. 17, 1989, with the
help of the Moscow Ukrainian Youth Club and Ukrainian Publicity.
The library is the descendant of the Central Ukrainian Library,
which was founded in Moscow in the 1920s (according to some sources,
IN 1918) and closed in 1938. In 1949 the library's Ukrainian
holdings were transfered to the Ukrainian Library of Science at
the Ivan Franko Lviv State University. In recent years, some of
those holdings have been returned to us in Moscow.
 
        As of Sept. 1, 1994, the library contained some 13,000 books,
9,500 brochures, 8,500 periodicals (including some representing
Ukrainian political and social movements of 1989-1991), maps, notes,
albums, pictures, song collections, audio and video recordings,
and manuscripts. The library subscribes to over 160 newspapers
and 150 magazines.
 
        At the library you can find books on (among other things)
history, art, religion, and linguistics, as well as fiction, fantasy,
poetry, adventure, and humor--in Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, English,
German, French, and other languages.
 
        In addition, through the library's e-mail and computer nets,
you can access the catalogues of almost any library in the
United States.
 
        The library also holds regular meetings and conferences on
historical, political, and other issues, and welcomes suggestions
on any topic of interest.
 
        The Ukrainian Library in Moscow is a place where interesting
people can gather and meet. Visiting us will enrich your life.
We look forward to your enriching ours.
