News from IAML & IAML Branches

On behalf of IAML I would like to congratulate our colleagues from Latvia on the official inauguration of the fantastic new building "Castle of Light", which now hosts the National Library of Latvia in Riga! I have understood that the festivities have been going on all week and will culminate in a spectacular public event tonight - Salasīšanās" (a word with two meanings: gathering and reading). Enjoy your evening! I hope you will be very happy in your new home!

The Brazilian branch was initially founded in October 2009 under the auspices of the Academia Brasileira de Música, and re-founded on October 2013 during the 1st Brazilian Congress on Research and Information Systems in Music, held at the Universidade de Brasília, as the first national event organized by IAML-Brazil’s branch.
