Dear colleagues,
Like the whole world the Estonian librarians are shocked by the
bloodshed ln occupied Lithuanla that was carried out by the Soviet Union,
as a result of which on January 12 at least 14 innocent civilians were
kllled and hundreds were wounded. Violent acts may also be possible in
Estonia and Latvia. The way of freedom and democracy chosen by our
states is in real danger, our people get open threats promising a massacre.
We conslder lt our task to inform you about the self-denying actions and
faithfulness to humanity of the librarians of the National Library of
Lithuania in the present situatlon where darkness and evil dominate. Like
Lithuanian churches the National Library of Lithuania has been tumed into
a center of medical aid. Librarians give medical help to lots of injured
people. try to alleviate their sufferings and. if necessary, secure with
qualified medical aid. People bring medicines, dressing. food from home
for those who need them.
A mouming of three days was proclaimed in Estonia in memory of the
innocent Llthuanian victims. Common sense has to win violence.
Estonian librarians want the whole world to hear their protest against any
use of force that endangers people’s lives, their higher mental
aspirations, free information exchange and the preservation of cultural
values.
