This year due to a reorganization of mobile library services, the campaign was implemented only in the city of Veria. The program was completed with the “Creative Library”. The event was organized on 9th of September 2009. Be creative is the motto for all the events during that day. The library participated in the celebration of 2009 as European Year for Creativity and Innovation (https://create2009.europa.eu) .
