Sponsored by the Religious Libraries in Dialogue Special Interest Group:

Libraries at the Heart of the Dialogue of Cultures and Religions  

The IFLA Religious Libraries in Dialogue Special Interest Group (RELINDIAL) is dedicated to libraries serving as places of dialogue between cultures through a better knowledge of religions. This book shows the contribution of libraries to the dialogue between cultures, a dialogue which is always closely linked to the dialogue between religions. With the urgent need for dialogue on a worldwide scale, libraries have a significant role to play. And they are meeting this challenge.

Congratulations to Odile Dupont, Editor,  for all her work!
