：自2009年以来，世界经济频频遭遇欧盟主权债务危机、贸易保护主义、英国脱欧等遏制经济发展的因素干扰，全球经济增速放缓，西方各国纷纷出台财政紧缩政策。预算的削减导致大量图书馆关停、馆员减少、服务时间缩水等情况。为应对危机，2019年欧洲议会选举前夕，欧洲图书情报与文献协会管理局（EBLIDA）与国际图联等5家图书馆组织共同发起并签署了《欧洲图书馆宣言》，呼吁欧洲议会及国际社会关注图书馆在公民信息获取中的重要作用。文章对《欧洲图书馆宣言》进行了解读，认为我国图书馆界应借鉴欧洲图书馆的做法，加强面向决策者的宣传、关注民生问题、积极参与知识产权法的立法和修订，在勇于承担社会责任、积极进行服务创新的同时，努力争取公共决策话语权，为图书馆发展打造良好的政策环境和社会环境。

Since 2009, the growth of global economy has slowed down because of European debt crisis, trade protectionism, and Brexit. Western countries introduced fiscal austerity policies and budget cutting caused a lot of libraries were shut down or services decreased. Before the European parliament election in 2019, five library organizations including EBLIDA and IFLA initiated and signed Library Manifesto Europe, appealing European Parliament and international communities to pay attention to the important role of library for citizens to obtain information. The author believes that libraries in our country should improve publicity to the policy-makers, care for peoples' livelihood, actively participate in the revision of intellectual property law, and shoulder more social responsibility, create new services, and at the same time, strive for more speaking power in the public decision-making, thus creating more favorable policy and social environment for library development.
