Dear colleagues
Further to my email below, a gentle reminder that I will be collating responses to return to Academia Rossica this week, and I would be grateful if you could get back to me by end of tomorrow, 15 December.
Thanks to all those who've responded already, I'll be in touch in the New Year.
Kind regards

Subject: Russian Culture and Arts Foundation wants to work with UK libraries
Dear colleagues
I’m writing on behalf of Academia Rossica, Russian Culture and Arts Foundation.
Russia - a New Chapter, is part of Russia Market Focus at the London Book Fair in April 2011, with 50 Russian writers coming to London to participate. Academia Rossica would like to work with libraries across the country to offer assistance with building or creating a Russian section in libraries that have a significant Russian readership, and generally help promote Russian literature in the UK.
Academia Rossica would like to:
1. Give books to libraries across the UK, supplemented by promotional material. These could be libraries with a Russian section already established, libraries who would like to create a Russian section, or libraries who are interested in a selection of books for reading groups. The books will be in Russian and English, nonfiction and fiction, covering a wide range of genres. A proportion of these books will be the works of the 50 authors who are visiting in April.
2. Send promotional material on authors, on Russian literature and on Russia to as many libraries as possible.
I would like to start by contacting libraries that are already engaging with, or are starting to build links with, Russian communities, and those that have or would like to develop their stock of Russian books. I would be grateful if you could let me know if you fit into any of these categories by Wednesday 15 December.
Please let me know if you’d like any more information, I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind regards
Andy
