Public Library


VIII Ogólnopolski Tydzień Czytania Dzieciom

1 - 7 czerwca 2009

Mrs. Elżbieta Krajewska is a librarian in Public Municipal Library Branch No 16 which is situated in our school. This week is very special and more readers visit the library not only to borrow a book but also to listen to it. Yesterday, on June 1st, the reading campaign started. It is called "All of Poland Reads to Kids". “ABCXXI - All of Poland Reads to Kids Foundation” has prepared a very special 23-volume collection of books for children. As they say that, “If we wish to live in a country of wise, honest and cultured people, let’s ensure that reading aloud every day becomes a priority in our homes, as well as in the kindergartens and schools our children attend.”
In each library all over Poland celebrities and common people read books to kids. Our library had unusual guests and a book. The book was written by Polish, Czech and Swedish children. They handed the book down to the Librarian to be included into the huge book collection. Applying for a Comenius grant we declared that our project will help pupils develop linguistic competencies, promote intercultural awareness and prepare students for their future as adult members of the European community. This has just happened. When we came to the library with our book “The Little Red Hen”, we saw the reading room full of small kids. They came from the nearby preschool. They didn’t expect to have such extraordinary lectors. Paulina from Sweden, Radka from the Czech Republic and Eva from Poland read to them about hardworking Hen and her lazy friends. It was very easy to understand the Polish girl. They could partially understand the Czech language. But the Swedish one was a total puzzle. One five-year-old suspected that it was Chinese! Kids were so excited that after having returned to their classes they began to draw their illustrations.


NOBODY IS BORN A READER A CHILD NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT TO READ FOR PLEASURE BY BEING READ TO EVERY DAY.
