Ukraine
Ukrainians in The Netherlands
The Bibliotheek Zuid-Kennemerland wants to help by providing a safe place where all are welcome. Besides assistance with practical matters, the library is a place to connect with others or find welcome distraction and relaxation. This page is meant for both refugees and people who want to help.
The conflict in Ukraine has caused chaos and destruction. Millions have been forced to flee their home and country. Most refugees from Ukraine are women and children. The United Nations have named this the greatest refugee crisis in Europe since World War II. A growing number of Ukrainians have found their way to The Netherlands.
