The Speaker of the House of Representatives Mr. Anita Demetriou, the President of the House of Representatives, as well as the entire parliamentary body, were deeply saddened to learn of the sudden death of the Director General of the National Library of Greece (NBC), for which he worked tirelessly, and former Director of the Library of the University of Cyprus, Philippos Tsiboglou. In addition to his catalytic contribution to the modernization of the National Library of Cyprus and its relocation to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre, Philip Tsiboglou was instrumental in the design of the new building of the University of Cyprus Library "Stelios Ioannou", in the compilation of the first collective catalogues of Cypriot libraries, as well as in the modernization and digitization of the entire network of libraries in Cyprus. His untimely death leaves a large part of his vision unfinished, abruptly cutting the thread of his dynamic contribution to the country. The House of Representatives expresses its sincere condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.
