On January 19, the first session of a series of online digital training courses for librarians was held, bringing together staff from four libraries in Armenia’s Syunik Province. The training is implemented by the Internet Society Armenia Chapter as part of the “Digital Development of Libraries: Internet Access Centers in Communities” program, which targets 15 libraries across the region.
The program officially launched with an opening event in Goris on October 11, 2025. Its primary objective is to transform libraries into modern digital hubs that respond to the needs of diverse population groups by expanding access to information and digital services within local communities.
To date, four libraries in Syunik Province have received technical equipment. The computers supplied to the libraries are equipped with up-to-date open-source software, including OpenBiblio, LibreOffice, and GIMP, enabling efficient digital library management and the delivery of a wide range of digital services.
