On February 13, 2026, an informational meeting was organized at the IP Public Library "Iulian Filip" in Drochia, with the participation of librarians from the localities of the district, an event dedicated to marking the International Day of Elections, celebrated annually on the first Thursday of February.

     The discussions focused on the role and responsibilities of electoral bodies, certification processes, as well as the importance of voter education for the proper functioning of democracy. A distinct element of the meeting was the exchange of experiences among participants, many of whom are actively involved in organizing electoral processes.

     It was emphasized that librarians in Drochia district are not only promoters of reading and access to information but also relevant actors in the electoral process, many of them having experience as electoral officials. This dual involvement allows them to contribute effectively to the accurate information of communities and to combat misinformation, especially during electoral periods.

     The event reaffirmed the importance of collaboration between cultural institutions and electoral bodies, with libraries being safe and credible spaces for civic dialogue and democratic education at the local level.

     We thank Ms. Cristina Țurcanu, Head of the Department of Culture and Tourism of the Drochia District Council, Ms. Adelina Porcesco, Director of the IP Public Library "Iulian Filip" in Drochia, as well as the libraries in the district for their openness, involvement, and support in organizing this activity.
