Taner Beyoğlu, Director-General of Libraries and Publications in Türkiye, was elected as Vice-Chair of CDNL (Conference of Directors of National Libraries) on 5 June 2025.

With his new position, he is committed to serving all CDNL members globally with a strong focus on strengthening engagement, fostering international collaboration, and ensuring effective and inclusive communication.
