Abstract

This paper will present the basic features of the Erasmus + program of the European Union, funding opportunities for European institutions in the field of education, vocational training, youth and sports, encouraging lifelong learning and professional and personal development of individuals and organizations. It will also present the implementation of one of the projects of the City Library „Ivan Goran Kovačić“ Karlovac which gave the library new added value in improving its services. This is a project entitled “Inclusion through library potentials“, designed and submitted to the European Union's Erasmus+ program, within the key activity 1, in the field of adult education, in the programme period from 2014 to 2021, respecting the key priorities of the seven-year period and given general and the specific objectives of the program itself. At the same time, the project is adapted to the conditions of the library within the local community, spatial and human capacities, as well to the structure of current and potential user groups which, through project activities, will provide opportunities for active involvement in the local and wider community. The preparation of the application and the content of the project presented in this paper will provide a clearer insight into the possibilities that libraries can achieve by applying to various sources of funding from European Union funds. Given the transformations in library operations and new missions and visions of work, alternative ways of financing can greatly provide libraries with an opportunity to strengthen existing and develop new services and programs for current and future users.
