In this issue we warmly welcome Le Consortium des Bibliothèques Académiques du Congo (COBAC) to the EIFL family. We also celebrate the Palestine Library and Information Consortium's (PALICO) tenth anniversary, while launching a new EIFL video which shows the impact of an innovative public library project on students, librarians and teachers in Lithuania.
