SUMMARY

ICBD message written by Jan Uličiansky opens the present issue of RUBINAITIS. The most important aim of the issue is to observe new books for children published in Lithuania in 2005. Roma Kišūnaitė traditionally compiled BIBLIOGRAPHY of new books and the section includes approximately 500 titles. Džiuljeta Maskuliūnienė analises new prose books of the Lithuanian authors, and she states there were some quite interesting  and important titles. But Neringa Mikalauskienė, who observes poetry, is very dissapointed about the situation of the genre.
