NTIL invites to reserve library books for home reading



As of January 12, the government has allowed libraries to issue books, therefore the New Theatre Institute (NTIL) invites to view the electronic catalogue of the library dedicated to contemporary performing arts and apply for books or catalogues of interest for home reading. Meanwhile, due to the pandemic situation in the country, the reading room of the NTIL library is closed.

In recent months, the NTIL library was supplemented with several new items – the focus of literature is on performing arts during the pandemic months, performative documentation, scenography, rural culture and local practises.

We are inviting you to contact us by writing to contact@theatre.lv regarding the resource of particular interest. Since each book is in one copy, please make sure in advance that the book you want is available.
