Night of reading. Book fair. Day of Zarasai

In the middle of August in Zarasai and in the library was several events.

At the 14th of August was a "Night reading". It's an every year event. People could come to the library, relax and listen some poets.
This year this event was organizing in very interesting way. It was not just simply poetry but it was combined with jazz and sand drawings. I could say it was amazing combination )))
So people came at 9 pm. Our reading hall of the library was full. Everybody wanted to see how it would be. And it was interesting. People set and listened some lithuanian poets. The event started at 9 and finished at midnight. Everybody enjoed the event and for my opinion had very interesting evening. Hope next year it also will be something similar!
On a 15th of August our library participated in a book fair. The event took part on the main square. There were some publishing houses who presented their production. I really liked "Nieko rimto" (www.niekorimto.lt).It has very interesting and beautiful design of books and postcards. Each design is unique and made by different artists and illustrators.


At the same day as book fair also Zarasai celebrated birthday. So in the evening on that day on the main square was a big concert. The main band played there was pop-folk band "KITAVA". The guys were very energetic and funny. Volunteers from Salakas and some other volunteers from another short-term project in Antalepte (about 15 guys) also came to Zarasai and we spent time all together. It was nice evening with fireworks at the end of the day.
