As the Russian Federation is no longer a member of the Council of Europe, the basis for membership of Directors from national libraries in Russia no longer applies. Their membership expired on 16th March 2022. This has been officially acknowledged by the CENL Executive Committee after legal counselling.
Europe’s national libraries stand together in support for their member Lyubov Andriivna Dubrovina, the staff of the Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine and all Ukrainian colleagues. CENL concentrates now on exchanging and facilitating concrete offers of help for Ukrainian colleagues as well as preserving Ukraininan cultural heritage in physical and digital form.
The Secretariat encourages all CENL members to send information on support and help for Ukrainian libraries and librarians to cenl@dnb.de.
