On the 7th of May lithuanians were selebrating a Day of an independence of print on lituanian language. It was 110 years celebrated this year. Our library organizes this event every year. How it was this year. There are 18 public libraries around Zarasai district with library in Zarasai in a head. That day all librarians from that branch librares were coming to Zarasai. Our director congratulated workers with this high day, said some nice words about a profession of librarian. The atmosphere on that meeting was really kind and cozy.
Also on that day we were at primary school. Some of our workers organized a game about a European Union for a kids. We were there together with Inesa and Luda (our workers). Luda was in a kostume of rabit. She was talking with kids about EU and introdused Inesa. Inesa created wery interesting task. It was a game looked like a map of Europe with missing names of EU countries. And the task for kids was writing the names of a countries in each box. Children were divided into three teams. Each team received the same task. The children were very active, checked some countries they didn't know a name. Children were looking wery happy during the game. At the end we made a pics all together and rabit present to children some books about EU. The game was really funny. And children learned a lot of useful and interesting information about the European Union.
On the 9th of May all Lithuania celebrated Day of Europe. This year it was 10 years when Lithuania joined EU. Here in the library was organizing a great event outside. It was starting at 10 am. The first part of the Day was drawing on an asphalt a small pictures by kids. They came to the library and painted it by colored chalks. When they finished we asked all kids standed on that letters EU and made a photo of that "life letters" from the top! Also guys from school created a posters about all countries in EU. We hung it outside. It was looking wery nice. Guys told about country they chouse. Also there was organizing photo exibition about travelling around EU. I also participated in it and got a prize - an t-shirt! It was a big surprize for me. I did'n expect to get it! After photo there was a small life concert. Our library invited one rock band from Vilnius. They played some of their songs. During that concert all people could taste a wonderfull cake. It was make specially for this event. It looked like a lithuanian flag. So, what could I say about that Day? For my opiniot it was perfect day and idea. But the weather wasn't so nice. It was windy, but not rainy. In this way we were lucky! You can check some pics from it below!
