The aim of KNIHOVNY.CZ portal is to inform general public about libraries and services they offer to all residents of the Czech Republic.
Our main goal is to attract chiefly those people who so far do not use libraries and inform them about the collections and services available.

The portal KNIHOVNY.CZ aspires to:

1. provide access to information resources and library services in the Czech Republic and within limits also abroad
2. provide information on availability and conditions of the services the Czech libraries offer
3. encourage widespread use of information resources and library services
4. inform about organizational system of Czech libraries and promote their activities
5. improve information literacy of the public, i.e. their ability and skills in using information resources and library services
