Earlier this month, Softlink Information Centres was proud to attend the 35th National Conference of the Romanian Library Association (ABR 2025) in beautiful Oradea, Romania. Hosted in collaboration with Softlink Central Europe, the University of Oradea, and the newly modernized “Gheorghe Șincai” Bihor County Library, this year’s conference reflected a renewed energy and vision for libraries in the digital age.
Libraries Navigating the Digital Shift
Under the theme “Libraries and the Challenges of the Digital World. Impact – Adaptability – Sustainability”, the four-day event (2–5 September 2025) brought together library professionals from across Romania and internationally. With a program of plenary sessions, workshops, and working groups, attendees engaged in timely discussions about the future of knowledge management and information services.
The conversations were both future-focused and grounded in real-world application.
Sarah Thompson, General Manager of Softlink Information Centres, spoke at the conference which reflected upon the unique collaboration between Softlink’s global team and its trusted local partner, Softlink Central Europe.
“It’s a great privilege to work with such an experienced team here in Romania,” she said. “Together, we’re not just providing technology - we’re delivering local expertise, long-term support, and real results for libraries.”
Sarah also extended her congratulations to the Bihor County Council and the Gheorghe Șincai Library team:
“Being in software, we don’t often see the visual impact of our work. But standing in this space and seeing the transformation firsthand is incredibly rewarding. This new model has the potential to inspire other counties in Romania.”
