It is wonderful to learn about your mission to bring the magic of storytelling to children across Europe. We have already shared your proposal and additional details with all Estonian county libraries, larger public libraries, the Estonian Children's Literature Centre, and the National Library of Estonia. County libraries in Estonia play a central role in coordinating public library services, including content acquisition, which makes them key partners in such initiatives. As of now, there have been no indications of interest from these libraries. The current lack of interest from libraries may be related to the budget cuts for acquisitions planned for the coming year. Public libraries undoubtedly consider the interests and needs of their young readers. As they review their acquisition strategies, their interest in your platform may still emerge. However, we have suggested the possibility of a virtual meeting in January to provide an opportunity for libraries to learn more about your platform. Should there be any expressions of interest, I will contact you again in January to agree on a suitable time for this meeting. Thank you again for your proposal, and we appreciate your commitment to enhancing children's access to storytelling through libraries.
