The priority is to speed up the digitization of our collections in order to preserve information and provide it for users. This became possible thanks to the CENL organizational efforts and care of a number of European national libraries who helped to obtain funding and purchase equipment for us. And above all, we are immensely grateful to the German National Library, Berlin State Library, the National Library of Poland, the Swedish National Library and the Swedish Academy, the National Library of France, the National Library of Finland and the University Association, and many others. Your help enabled our library to acquire powerful scanners and servers, computers, and other equipment. We received equipment that we could only dream of. These resources will become the basis for the National Digital Library of Ukraine, the project of which was launched in 2022. With the help of the British Library and the State Library of Berlin we took care of the preservation of the fonds, and the availability of the restoration equipment, special paper, and packaging. It allowed us to resume the activities of our conservation department, as we got the opportunity to restore damaged manuscripts, old prints, archival documents, newspapers, maps, and other items. A big thank also goes to the Poland National Library, our long-time partner, that constantly helps us in our problems, which provided us with fire-fighting equipment: including the necessary number of fire extinguishers and other special fire-fighting means. The National Library of Poland helped towards our participation in IFLA activities in 2022, and in other international events, and organizing contacts with foreign cultural foundations that are ready to support our Library. A special gratitude is for the help in the employment of Ukrainian refugees, in particular to the National French and British libraries.
