Media and Information Literacy (MIL) is a relatively new field. It is a response to the growing concern around the world to the increasingly complex media and information landscape, the changes in the way information is delivered by the media and consumed by people. This paper focuses on MIL actions taken by IREX Europe in the Republic of Moldova. IREX Europe is a non-profit, non-governmental organization based in Lyon, France, working to improve education, strengthen independent media, reduce conflict, and support democracy and human rights. Its project in Moldova – ‘Strengthening Independent Media and Media Literacy' is a four- year project focusing on supporting independent media; Empower citizens to engage with new media technologies, traditional media, and journalists by developing and expanding media literacy and media corners in libraries across Moldova; and strengthen links between the media and their communities through open discussion platforms gathering journalists, civil society organizations, and local audiences.

The author of the article discusses selected academic and popular publications concerning the history of libraries and librarianship in Poland which appeared in 1945–2015. In that period information about the most important historical resources of various Polish libraries and early book collections was made available; in addition, the period was marked by progress in the study of materials originating before the end of the 18th century. Scholars published a range of methodological studies as well as studies dealing with sources, contributing to the development of scholarship. On the other hand, there were too few editions of source materials. After 1989 scholars intensified their efforts to find sources in foreign collections, especially in Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia and Germany. Polish collections kept abroad are yet to be fully researched and have their inventories and catalogues published. The vast body of literature is uneven when it comes to its focus on the various historical periods, regions, subregions and local centres. It comprises publications dealing with the history of libraries, their function and role in culture with regard to the history of the book, and publications focused on the types of libraries or individual libraries — of different traditions, sizes and stature. Scholars also explored the history of home book collections, reading rooms and libraries as well as biographies of librarians and collectors. The quality of the publications varies. There are gaps in, for example, the history of libraries in the former Polish Eastern Borderlands as well as “blank pages” in the historiography of Polish librarianship after the Second World War. There is a visible shortage of quantification of phenomena from the past of libraries, despite the fact that there are some possibilities in this respect. What is also needed is development in comparative studies, also in an international perspective, although this would require Polish historians to become more interested than before in the history of librarianship in other countries.

The significance and propagation of Spanish in the Czech Lands grew in the 16th and 17th centuries. Thanks to the political state of affairs and the dynasticties in place, it was spoken in the court sphere as well as among family members of certain aristocratic families and it was disseminated in communication among the Catholic elites. Its use is on record in official and personal correspondence as well as in journal entries. There is an abundance of books in Spanish in Bohemian and Moravian libraries – both secular and ecclesiastic. Most of them were printed abroad (in Spain, but also in Portugal, Italy and the Netherlands), though some were printed in Prague. Closer investigation has shown that Bohemian-Spanish contacts were more plentiful in concrete cases than was generally adjudged. For this reason, more research is necessary, particularly in the noble families’ archives and in the collections of printed books. Jan Amos Comenius was born into and lived in this environment and although he himself was determined by his non-Catholic religious orientation and his subsequent exile, he also manifested a marked interest in the Spanish and Spanish-American world and its languages. This may be seen in his Janua linguarum, a creative adaptation of a linguistic work by Irish Jesuits, which was published in Salamanca, Spain, in 1611.

The starting point of reflections presented in this paper is the talk which took place during my fieldwork on the cultural role of public libraries in Podhale region in February 2016. The subject of the conversation was the book ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ by E. L. James, read by one of the interlocutors. Describing its course and atmosphere I try to set it in three contexts: discursive, performative and institutional. By analogy to them, acts and narratives of reading appear as: cultural translation from Anglo-Saxon to Goral style, active experimentation with local cultural constructs and results of specifically shaped concept of readership animation through a library. The peculiar atmosphere of this institution as a place made in great measure by women and for women, remains influential as well. Such interpretation became possible by comparing the analyzed situation with the rest of research material, gathered with in-depth interviews and participant observation, as well as using the perspective of ‘reading as an action’, proposed by American pioneers of the anthropology of reading (Janice Radway, Elizabeth Long). The observation builds an image of public library as a place embedded in local systems of meaning, but on the other hand, favorable to socio-cultural innovations.

The article presents the results of representative surveys on readership conducted in Poland by the National Library and the problems of promoting reading by public institutions. In view of the general decline of reading and its intensity special attention should be paid to the role of public libraries. A new model of public libraries, and their new forms of activity create the potential of promoting reading. There are presented data illustrating the current status and condition of Polish public libraries. The condition of libraries depends on the policy of local government are very diversed. The National Programme for the Development of Reading was adopted by the Council of Ministers of the multiannual program for the years 2016-2020, in order to improve readership in Poland by strengthening the role of public libraries and school as local centers of social life which are the center of access to culture and knowledge.

The paper studies the state of awareness of information literacy and media literacy in Albania and the role of libraries in raising their capacity in fostering use of technology and media and practicing polices of life-long learning (LLL) and education. There is an urgent need in Albania to raise the awareness of information and media literacy issues in the new realities and the skills needed to navigate, evaluate, and use information and technology. The role of the libraries and other institutions is of great importance and impact when it comes to assisting users of all levels not only to find but also to evaluate and use information properly for professional and daily life decisions. This research and the surveys done in Fier Public Library during 1995-2012, will bring a contribution to a greater understanding of the situation in most of the public libraries in Albania and the impact that information, media, and new technologies have in our daily life. The purpose of the research is to raise the awareness of all the stakeholders in Albanian society on its importance for future development. The research has shown that libraries, librarians, and other stakeholders of the society lack understanding on information and media literacy as well as the right infrastructure to support the development of information and communication technology (ICT).

Idea ludoteki, instytucji sprawnie funkcjonującej w różnych krajach, jest w Polsce słabo znana, zarówno od strony teoretycznej, jak i praktycznej. Istnieje niewiele bibliotek udostępniających gry, a instytucji, które zajmowałyby się wyłącznie tym, nie ma wcale. Artykuł ukazuje funkcje pełnione przez gry i zabawy w instytucjach kultury. Przedstawia również zawód ludotekarza jako połączenie profesji pedagoga, ludologa i bibliotekarza. Celem tekstu jest też wykazanie, jakie korzyści przynoszą ludoteki nie tylko użytkownikom, lecz także ludologom i twórcom gier. Jeśli nie da się spełnić postulatu utworzenia w Polsce ludotek funkcjonujących samodzielnie, warto przyjrzeć się pomysłowi szerokiego wprowadzenia gier i zabawek do innych instytucji.

The concept of the toy library – a well-functioning institution in many countries – is little known in Poland, both in theoretical and practical terms. There are few libraries that enable access to games, and no library is devoted exclusively to this purpose. The paper presents the functions that games and play have in cultural institutions. Furthermore, the article depicts the occupation of the toy librarian as a combination of three professions: educator, game researcher and librarian. The aim is also to demonstrate the benefits that toy libraries bring to users as well as to game scholars and designers. If it is not possible to organize toy libraries in Poland, it is worth considering the idea that games should be made available in traditional libraries and other institutions.

The article is devoted to the fate of Polish collections, including book collections, during the wars that swept through Poland’s territory in 1914–1920: events on the eastern front of WWI, civil war after the Bolshevik revolution in Russia, Polish-Ukrainian conflict of 1918–1919 and Polish-Bolshevik war, the apogee of which came in 1920. Polish collections suffered heavy losses as a result of evacuation of a huge number of historical items to Russia, as a result of warfare, pillaging and deliberate destruction. The collections that were most affected were private collections in the eastern part of pre-partition Poland and in the territories incorporated into the Russian Empire. Safe-guarding of historical heritage was undertaken by Polish societies for the protection of historical heritage, established in the Kingdom of Poland and in Russia. They compiled the first inventories of lost and damaged cultural goods as well as those taken to Russia. Documentary work was under-taken by individual scholars as well; in addition, the first publications dealing with the matter began to appear at the time. The work was continued with a view to future restitution of the goods to Poland, which regained independence in 1918.

Distribution of book literature from the invention of the printing press up to the present contains many interesting moments of cultural, social and economic nature. A journey of a book from its creation to its final recipient can be best observed in an interesting triangle a printing office — a bookseller — a library. This study follows the distribution of Czech Protestant literature by observing how the works by a leading member of the Unity of Brethren and its most eminent representative, John Amos Comenius, were spreading in the area of the early modern Kingdom of Hungary in the period ranging roughly from the middle of the 17th century to the beginning of the 18th century. Research has confirmed a high share of Comenius’ works in private and institutional libraries of that time; this high share was ensured by activities of local pressmen and bookbinders as well as by imports from more distant foreign countries.
