On January 31, 2018, a library was opened in the public school of the village of Tivi in the Kvareli Municipality on the initiative and with the financial assistance of Deputy Public Defender Ekaterine Skhiladze. The library was opened with the cash award received by Ekaterine Skhiladze as a winner of Kato Mikeladze Award in 2016.

The library has particular importance in the village inhabited by ethnic minorities, where access to information and services is one of the significant problems.

The library has been equipped with books and devices by the support of the National Library and the Library Association, while local resident Rakhimat Zaurbegova has been appointed as a librarian by the support of the Kvareli municipality.

The Public Defender of Georgia believe it is important to increase access of the rural population to information and library activities, and hopes that the new educational space will facilitate solving the community’s problems, activation of young people and strengthening of future initiatives.
