NIGHT OF LIBRARIES | 16.10

Another Library Night is upon us — a unique evening during which libraries across Poland open up to unusual meetings, events and joint discovery of literature.

In our library we also prepare a special program for you. It will be literary, musical, creative and a little different than everyday.

This year's idea of Library Night grew out of the belief that reading books, the press, using the resources and offerings of local libraries, and getting to know your neighbors is a wonderful, effective way to face the challenges of the modern world, build resilience to misinformation and develop critical thinking skills. Libraries are a natural, proven center of such activities.
