Autumn and winter nights are especially short in Estonia and the Nordic countries. A long time before the era of television and Internet there was a tradition of storytelling on these long and dark winter nights. The Nordic libraries and Norden associations have arranged the Nordic Library Weeks in the darkest period of the year since 1997. It means seven days full of exhibitions, storytelling, book introductions and debates in libraries, schools and other organisations in the Nordic and Baltic countries.

As always, Estonian libraries, schools and community centres are participating in this joint Nordic and Baltic project. A new feature this year is that participants can register via the website of the Nordic Council of Ministers' Office in Estonia. After registration, all participants will be mailed a free Library Week information packet. We will start sending out the materials in September.

The last day for registration (in Estonian) is Friday, 5 November 2010.
