<\/figure>\nIn the discussion on the plans for ensuring a sustainable development of Croatia\u2019s national public and school libraries network, Minister Obuljen Kor\u017einek emphasised the importance of the institutional and financial stability of public libraries, related up-to-date legislation and the work of central library development offices, as well as of the awareness that the expansion of the national library network and the scope of library services needs to be geared to the requirements of all groups of library users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other topics included the implementation of the new acquisition model for collection development in public libraries, projects aimed at increasing the visibility of library collections and services and the latest major investments in Croatia\u2019s library infrastructure resulting in the opening of new libraries and numerous library renovation projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking further steps towards bringing library services to everyone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe meeting\u2019s programme also included a brief overview of the results of investments of the Croatian Ministry of Culture and Media in the development of mobile library services. Focusing on making culture-related content and library services as available as possible to everyone, in particular to the members of inclusion-challenged social groups, promoting reading and fostering the development of reading skills and making library services accessible regardless of geographically-conditioned user circumstance, these investments are also expected to support further efforts to improve the cooperation between public and school libraries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
