For this year's edition, we have prepared an extensive literary program that contains a number of attractive programs, events, exhibitions and competitions for different age groups and interests, simply for everyone!
This year's campaign was proclaimed for the 14th time by the association of librarians and information workers from the Czech Republic.
The campaign begins on Saturday, March 4th, with the children's theater fairy tale of the devil, performed by the Čmukaři Turnov ensemble. From March 7th to 11th, readers in the main building, in the branches and in the children's department can take part in the popular blind reading event Blind Date with a Book.
On March 14th, as part of the NAKAP II regional project, we will read a conference on libraries and schools with the title - the way to education. On the same day, the popular book and magazine exchange will be reopened in the afternoon, on which scripts, foreign language books and music are offered. For March 15, Aperta S.r.o. has prepared a lecture on reading, fairy tales and identity formation, which is about how identity is shaped by reading.
And at the very end of the campaign, on Friday, March 31, contemporary authors from our region will speak at the Czech-Polish border. Together with Polish authors, the Liberecer Authors' Circle Lak is presenting a new, jointly published Czech-Polish reading book Z OBU Břehů (from both banks). The last Friday in March traditionally belongs to the children - we organize a popular overnight stay in our library, the night with Andersen.
In addition, children can take part in the "Running Images" competition all month in the children's and youth library, where they should find out which book the stray literary figures belong to. On the library's Facebook profile, we will post a new challenge every Friday in a playful competition about Liberec literary "fake news". And audiobook lovers can also participate in the exhibition! "I'm Listening" in front of the music library, will take us into the world of the spoken word and literature on audio books;
As always, the competition readers of the year will also take place in the reading month, in which we are looking for the most loyal reader this year, i.e. the reader who visited our library most frequently last year. The most loyal reader from the Liberec region's libraries will then represent us in the national competition.
You can find the program of all events as part of the campaign in the attached PDF document.
During the entire month of March, the library in Liberec, like many other libraries in the Czech Republic, will carry out a large national campaign to promote reading and libraries, which is known under the name of March - the month of the reader. This year, the library in Liberec has again prepared a diverse range of literary programs and events for its visitors.
