National Library of Latvia to Introduce Fee for Visiting 'Gaismas Pils' and Raise Service Prices
The National Library of Latvia plans to charge 3 euros for visiting its building without a guide and increase prices for existing paid services, while visits with a reader's card remain free. The government may decide in mid-August.
The National Library of Latvia (LNB) is set to revise its fee structure by raising prices for current paid services and introducing new ones. A key change is a 3-euro entrance fee for touring the library building, known as Gaismas pils (Castle of Light), without a guide. However, holders of a reader's card will continue to access the library for free. The library's management states that these adjustments are part of a sustainable development plan. The government is expected to rule on the proposed changes in mid-August.
