(Article 3 of the constitution)
The FëBLux tends in its annual assessment of the submitted support supplications to primarily support sustainable investments. This means: We rather encourage investments in infrastructure as in events.
We are following the Recommendation CM/Rec(2023)3 of the Committee of Ministers to member States on library legislation and policy in Europe (adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 5 April 2023 at the 1462nd meeting of the Ministers‘ Deputies), based on COUNCIL OF EUROPE/EBLIDA GUIDELINES ON LIBRARY LEGISLATION AND POLICY IN EUROPE (DECS/CULT/POL/book(2000) 1), Chapter 7, Library financing, Point ii:
„The financing of libraries should be mostly the responsibility of public authorities. Library services partly funded from other sources should not interfere with librarians’ professional integrity nor with the selection of library materials, and should not undermine the fundamental principles of free access and of certain basic services being free of charge.„
