In 2004, with the participation of a US Peace Corps Volunteer, the library won a grant from US Peace Corps-Ukraine. Through this grant and book donations from individuals and organizations in the US and from Embassies of many countries we have created new Department - The Department of the Literature in Foreign Language. Here English and Polish clubs, the project "Children's window on America " work.

On this Floor you will also find information for you in the “Reader's Corner”.

Proceeding onto the 3^rd floor. Located here are departments which provide for the operation of the library. They guide the library's processes and work efforts, they also develop new and innovative programs, as well as utilize information to predict the directions the library may take in the future.

Also on the Third floor is the Department of Acquisitions and Processing. This department helps to find books homes on the shelves. This Department orders new books and periodicals. They give each new book a number that acts as an address on the shelves. These numbers are put into the catalogue to help librarians and patrons find them later. They then pass the books onto other departments, for you to then discover and enjoy dear friends.
