Does your library need FairVega?
If your library has Russian-speaking patrons, you need Russian-language materials. Plenty of Russian books, movies, and music are available, but they can be hard to find. FairVega can work with any library in North America to help improve the selection it offers to Russian-speaking patrons. School libraries, public libraries, and community college libraries are our favorite clients.
If you have bilingual staff who can guide your selection of Russian titles, they are your best resource. But if you don't, FairVega can help.
