<p class="ecxMsoNormal">Under the auspices of the Secretary for Culture, a National
Library of Timor Leste will be established in the near future. <br></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><br></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal">To commence the
process of building a national collection, national library staff will begin a
program of approaching institutions in Timor who have published materials and
may wish to provide a copy to the National Library. This will ensure that
generations to come will have access to these materials <span style="">that will help engender an informed community</span>, for
cultural, educational and economical benefit. <br></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><br></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal">We are also looking for information about materials and
collections held overseas that people may wish to see become part of the
national collection in Timor.<span style=""> </span>Please note that we are seeking materials with direct relevance to
Timor Leste, or materials that have been published in Timor Leste.</p>
