Volyn region… Lutsk….three days before the Ukrainian Library Day….

Today, three days before the Ukrainian Library Day, the librarians together with visitors, Peace Corps Volunteer – Sam Abrams – began to celebrate the holiday.

The celebration was unusual – the official opening of the parking for bicycles near the library for the users. 

The youngest reader of that rainy day Denys cut the ribbon and the excursion started.

chance to communicate, play games in Ukrainian and in Eglish or read an interesting book!!!!!!
