Day Four

As the days went by, we learnt more things. Every day was a new and interesting learning experience!

That morning, we met up with Despina and Matthew in the primary library. They had prepared a talk and a exhibition of children's and young people's literature books. A diverse and attractive collection aimed at all ages, cultures and needs.

We were shown books by different authors, but above all by the most important and well-known authors in children's literature. All the books they showed us had a special magic. They were captivating books, with beautiful illustrations and colour. At that time, we would have read all the books!

Despina told us how they buy books for the libraries of the three campuses. The coordinators are in contact with several publishing houses and bookshops in the city. Once a year they go to these bookshops and make a very generous purchase.

When we went into the American Book Center, we couldn't believe what we saw! A three-floor bookshop full of books, magazines and games. There is also a cosy cafeteria on the ground floor. We saw readers immersed in their reading while enjoying a good coffee. An enviable place without a doubt!
