Recently, the director of the GOHAR Music Professional Library in Lebanon, a friend and donor of the National Library, Garo Derounian, once again donated valuable books to the National Library. The donated collection also includes valuable 19th-century publications by the Mekhitarists of Constantinople, Venice and Vienna, as well as publications from Paris. This is already Mr. Derounian’s fifth visit to the library. Every time he visits Armenia, he always donates books to the National Library.

To date, 106 unique and priceless books have been added to the NLA collection as a result of Garo Derounian's donations. We would like to highlight that Mr. Derounian contributes to the enhancement of the National Library's digital collections by sending dozens of copies of digitized publications on a regular basis. Garo Derounian's invaluable donation and unwavering support for the National Library's replenishment are greatly appreciated.

The donated books are mostly digitized and are available in the Armenian National Library's "Armenian Book" electronic database. #replenishment #valuable_donation
