The new space has a reading room where anyone can come. The center is located on Podvalna Street, 4 in the Polokhiv Tower.

The center also plans to conduct public events: workshops, lectures and discussions, as well as review of the most interesting copies of the Fund.

“We have done what has not been done for decades: the fund was streamlined, the space was adapted, the online catalog was laid, and to start digitizing the most vulnerable editions. I do not think it would be possible without financing the Ukrainian Cultural Fund. As well – said the curator of the library direction of the project Vasyl Maidansky.

A separate program is developed for students, will use publications to develop futuristic concepts of rebuilding Ukrainian cities. They will arrange a workshop residence, as well as four public blocs with the involvement of leaders in the field of architecture/culture. Themes vary from the history of castles and residences to the modern publishing practice of artbooks.
