Currently, the library is implementing several projects related to the art of storytelling: “Development of a Model of the Art and Method of Storytelling for Lithuanian Libraries” and “Mastery of Storytelling for Lithuanian Library Audiences”. In order to become a storytelling institution and thus expand the range of its services, knowledge sharing and cooperation with other storytelling institutions is extremely important.
