Citizens and visitors of Prague can view an exhibition “Prague and daughters of Prague” in the City of Prague Museum. The exhibition shows the history of Prague from the prehistoric times to the half of the 20th century how it was perceived by women. Topics are women, gender, distinguished women etc. Discussions and reading are associated actions.
In connection and partnership with this exhibition, the Municipal Library in Prague prepared a project of e-library called “Daughters of Prague”. Municipal Library offers digitized versions of woman literature from the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries in its collection. E-books are freely available. The WWW page is accessible on www.dceryprahy.cz.

The Municipal Library of Prague launched a project “E-Books in all libraries”.
The new service enables users to read e-versions of later Czech production. The objective of the project is to promote cooperation between libraries and commercial sector in an emerging e-book market.
According to the agreement, publishers offer e-copies of their books in preparation to facilitate digitization. Libraries guarantee the legal using. Libraries also offer statistics with interesting data for publishers (interest and use of titles).
Libraries are represented by one library, Municipal Library of Prague, in the workflow between publishers and libraries. At present, reading is limited: e-books are accessible just inside the library and on dedicated display terminals. Parts of documents can be printed, not stored.
The pathfinder partner on the publisher size is Academia, The Publishing House of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.
Included libraries are, apart from the Municipal Library of Prague, Academy of Sciences Library, National Library of the Czech Republic, National Technical Library and Moravian Library

557 public libraries, ca150 inplaces where library does not have to be. According to the Public Library Act public library has to be in places where lives at least 500 inhabitants. In such places library usually is the only public institution and local authorities keep them because lot of public services can get in the library. Free Internet for public use is very much needed in smaller places.
Last three years has been very difficult economic situation in Estonia, but it has been very interesting time too. For libraries there were many challenges, for examples how to organize the everyday work of libraries in view of significant budget cuts both – from the state and local government side. But only 2 part-time working libraries were closed this time. From 2009 library use is growing again. We are especially glad to witness that children and young people have come to visit libraries more in last couple of years. 2010 we celebrated the year of reading and lot of library events helped to get library more needed and attractive. We even built some new libraries during these hard years. The most beautiful is of course the Tallinn University of Technology Library. And several new buildings for public libraries in a bigger villages.
