Librarians Visit at the White HouseWashington, DC: On June 12, 2006, at the White House, First Lady Laura Bush welcomed a group of librarians visiting from the Middle East and North Africa on a Middle East Partnership Initiative program. The librarians, who work at university, parliamentary, and law libraries, will visit seven American cities in a study tour focused on copyright and digital management issues. The tour will provide the librarians with tools to strengthen the rule of law in their countries and improve the business climate so economies in the region can better support the needs of the next generation. |
