Major Funding Boost for Greece’s Public Libraries

The Greek Ministry of Education has earmarked an extra 1.5 million euros for public libraries, part of an initiative to help students develop better reading skills.


Greece’s public libraries will receive an extra 1.5 million euros from the regular budget of the Ministry of Education for 2021, in a decision signed by Minister Niki Kerameus.

The move is part of the ministry’s initiatives to support books and readership in a plan that involves, among others, the new school curricula.

 

Through the new curricula, students will be invited to read and work on entire literary works to become familiar with books and acquire the habit of reading.
