This is not A Library : July 2015

This summer we open the doors of the Central Public of Veria and we surprisingly discover that ‘’ This is not a library!’’.

We continue the summer campaign for the promotion of reading and creativity, which the Νational Library of Greece organizes for the first time along with the network of public and municipal libraries of Future Library.

Under the title ‘’This is not a library’’, children , teenagers, adults, employees and libraries’ guests can discover through activities, events and workshops the different roles which a library can have. It can become a land of miracles, a hiding place for treasure, a time machine, a map, a museum, a big tree hollow or an aromatic garden. We are waiting for you…!
