“SAMARA” Lyceum of Novomoskovsk town

The Dnipropetrovsk WOA Centre continues its project “Library connecting people”.

This summer the WOA friends from the Peace Corp. introduced the facility to Mrs. Joanna Luongo who had to start her volunteer activities in the “SAMARA” Lyceum of Novomoskovsk town (Dnipropetrovsk oblast’).

Mrs. J.Luongo participated in one of our English Speaking Club sessions, was familiarized with the resources and the equipment of the WOA center. She was positively impressed by the facility and the motivation of the ESC members and decided to organize a similar club in one of the Novomoskovsk libraries. Besides, she promised to introduce the WOA centre to her lyceum students and Novomoskovsk English speaking community.

As soon as the school year started Joanna organized the English speaking club and asked us to cooperate. Today the activists of the Novomoskovsk ESC visited the Dnipropetrovsk WOA. The group consisted both of students and adult learners of the English language.

The WOA’s worker Mrs. Tamara explained to the Novomoskovsk guests the main purpose of the facility and introduced the recourses and the equipment of the center. The adult guests were more interested in the collections of fiction and movies. While students asked a lot of questions about the TOEFL preparation books and student exchange programs in USA.

Mrs. Joanna told us about the difficulties she was faced with while starting the ESC activity and we talked about the ways to overcome these difficulties.

To round up the visit the Novomoskovsk group had a brief tour of the Oblast Scientific Library and was introduced to its departments located in the same building with the WOA.

The guests were invited to participate in the events of the WOA Dnipropetrovsk and visit its website, FB page and blog.
The number of participants – 7 persons.
