Engravings, photographs and historical publications are presented in the exhibition "About Libraries" which is hosted in the Library of IFJ "Dimitris I. Pournaras" until October 14, 2022. These are rare and representative specimens from material of the "About Libraries - aboutlibraries.gr".
The opening of the exhibition took place on Thursday, September 29, at an event organized by the urban non-profit company "Kipos Filobivlon" and the National Center for Documentation & Electronic Content (EKT), in the ESIEA building.
At the event, new actions were presented for the expansion and internationalization of the digital encyclopedia "About Libraries" (www.aboutlibraries.gr), which already includes more than 3.500 items, processed and documented: entries, bibliographic references and a rich visual collection (miniatures of manuscripts, woodcuts, copperplates, lithographs, paintings, representations and photographic depictions of sculptures & architectural works, etc.).
It is a space for original research and collection of important and rare archival and other material, which focuses on libraries and their history, presenting unique collections, but also personalities associated with libraries in East and West from antiquity to the present day.
