Welcome to FairVega Library Services!
Your library is seeing more patrons who come from Russian-speaking countries, or from Ukraine.
Don't know where to find books, music CDs, DVDs, or magazines in their languages?
Don't want to deal with customs rules and shipping costs from overseas?
Don't have any staff members who can navigate Russian-language web sites or catalog the items you do have?
Good news...

We can find specific titles for your collection, provide sets according to your specifications, or administer a standing order program customized for your library. FairVega also offers consulting services to help you evaluate and improve your Slavic-language collection, facilitate access to your catalog, and make your library more accessible and useful to all of your patrons.

Does your library need FairVega?

If your library has patrons who speak Ukrainian or Russian, you need Ukrainian- and Russian-language materials. Plenty of books 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 patrons who want to read in Ukrainian or Russian. School libraries, public libraries, and community college libraries are our favorite clients.

If you have bilingual staff who can guide your selection of Russian and Ukrainian titles, they are your best resource. But if you don't, FairVega can help.
