The document summarizes a public library development project in Latvia called "Trešais tēva dēls" which received $16.2 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Over 4000 computers were installed in 874 libraries between 2006-2008 and 1800 librarians received 140 hours of training. The project aimed to increase the prestige of libraries and access to information resources for all Latvian residents.
