Klaipeda County Ieva Simonaityte Public Library, founded in 1950, serves as a center of information research and the provider of educational and leisure activities. The Library is open to all visitors. Besides regular library functions it also offers exhibitions and other cultural events that are open for all visitors; organize various training activities, excursions around the library, new book presentations, lectures, modern art exhibitions, cultural performances, after school programs, programs for reader development. Library also has open space for young people. It is a safe, convenient, open space for everyone. We organize discussions with young people on relevant topics, meetings with professionals, people who are looking to look for ways to solve the problems, share opinions, or just talk to a young man. The most important thing is that this is a place where young people can feel free and informal to spend their leisure time.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
