Depository Libraries

The World Bank Depository Library Program is a key element in its publication dissemination strategy. As the world's largest development institution, the World Bank undertakes large projects of research, analysis, and data gathering. The World Bank provides loans, technical assistance, and policy guidance to its developing- country members, and through its work, generates vast amounts of research information. The dissemination of that research is a necessary part of the Bank's objectives, because knowledge and information, to have value, must be shared. Well-organized libraries that serve numerous users are one of the most effective channels for sharing knowledge and information.

In Latvia three libraries have agreed to work with the World Bank as active partners in the dissemination of the Bank materials by promoting them and encouraging their use among different groups of readers. They ensure the availability of the World Bank publications among their clienteles.
