The National Library‘s remote services

The Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania is providing remote services. They encompass plenty of possibilities for the reading and learning people by providing interactive learning programmes, remote learning, lessons in history and heritage, etc. The National Library‘s virtual platform supports not only learning and self education but also leisure activities and we strongly recommend to use it.

• Interactive Library (ibiblioteka.lt)

Here you can read more than 2000 full-text books in Lithuanian. The ordering procedure is very simple. Those who have the LIBIS card do not need registration and signing in is sufficient. These services are provided on mobile devices as well. For e-books, internet connection is necessary. The books are borrowed for a 14 day period and this period can be prolonged twice. You can borrow not more than 2 e-books at one time.
