Dear Kyiv- Mohyla community and our library donators!

As part of the "eSupport" program, the state pays UAH 1,000 to fully vaccinated Ukrainians, for which books can be purchased. Our KMA alumni initiated the use of "eSupport money" (єПідтримка) to replenish the American Library at NaUKMA treasury. We are happy to support this initiative and if you would like to join this initiative and if you were thinking to donate us books, we would be grateful for the purchase of the following books:
