The main idea of \u200b\u200bthe meeting, which takes place every two year in one of the countries, is that culture should not be locked up in repositories or archives and must be shared. Therefore, cultural institutions, libraries among them, also care about presenting cultural objects to the public. Advanced digital tools and the Internet have opened up vast opportunities for sharing cultural heritage. Reusing works have become especially popular now, when one can create new meanings by transferring a work to another context or adding unexpected elements to it. Representatives of the national libraries of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia and experts gave presentations and shared their experiences, plans and problems of opening and reusing data stored at the libraries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The participants were greeted by the director general of the National Library of Lithuania, Prof. Renaldas Gudauskas<\/strong>. He also presented Library\u2019s results for the year of 2018\u20132019 and talked about the challenges and new opportunities in today\u2019s COVID-19 world. Janne Andresoo<\/strong>, director general of the National Library of Estonia, sent her best wishes in a video greeting.
