The Library offers information flyers on our displays in various languages. We have recently been able to add a Ukrainian translation library flyer!
As more Ukrainian visitors coming to the Library, we are keen to make them feel welcome and offer them the flyer in their own language. The County Armagh based group of Ukrainian families generously agreed to translate the information flyer into Ukrainian as a gift to the Library.
Armagh Robinson Library has become one of the most important and welcoming places for us in Northern Ireland. It is where we can meet, get to know each other better, and deepen our understanding of Northern Ireland and Armagh. The Library is truly a warm and inviting space, with incredible people working in it, a fascinating history, and thousands of antique books that make every visit special. We are delighted to contribute by providing the Ukrainian translation of the flyer so that more Ukrainians can learn about this wonderful and unique place. – Maryna Opanasenko
It was an honour for me to contribute to the translation of the flyer. This experience has been incredibly meaningful, not only as a way to support the library but also as a chance to help Ukrainians feel more welcome in this wonderful space. I sincerely hope that this translation will encourage more Ukrainians to discover Armagh Robinson Library, not just as a place where books are stored, but as a warm and inviting community where they will always be welcomed. – Inna Shynkevich
For us, Armagh Robinson Library has truly become a place of healing for the soul! Carol and colleagues always greet us with an open heart, warmth and care. Every time we learn a lot of new things for ourselves and reveal our personalities from different creative sides. This is a real treasure island with a huge number of old books, coins, precious stones, seals and manuscripts. Archbishop Richard Robinson’s large-scale contribution to the history of Armagh is very admirable. We are very glad that now Ukrainians, thanks to the flyer, will have the opportunity to understand and feel the depth, warmth and grandeur of this place. – Olena Kulaga
The local Ukrainian families have been so supportive of our projects. They have taken part in museum projects with us and have helped us to promote European Heritage Open Days and Armagh’s Georgian Day. The translation of our information flyer is another example of their kindness and we appreciate it very much. By having the flyer in Ukrainian, we hope that more visitors will feel welcome and enjoy this eighteenth library with its Greek inscription, which we translate into English as the ‘healing place of the soul’. – Carol Conlin, Assistant Keeper
