Your support helps maintain the 3,000-volume Slovenian National Library collection, founded in 1906, America's oldest Slovenian cultural organization. The Library is funded for the benefit of the community by fraternal lodges, choruses and societies to serve as a clearinghouse for information on Slovenian culture and literature. Your donations are helping the Library complete the first computerized catalog of its holdings. This will help prepare a Library website for worldwide access to Slovenian resources.

Join now and enjoy the upcoming tributes to the legend of Martin Krpan and Valvasor's "Glory of Carniola," plus a chance to meet Slovenian writer Erica Johnson Debeljak, author of "Forbidden Bread."
