Today’s meeting at Window on America center Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine was dedicated to the topic “The 180th anniversary of the DOUNB Library”. The Library is the headquarters of the Window on America center.


The WOA staff member Tamara G. prepared a slide show about the history of the DOUNB library. The focus of the presentation was on the foreigners’ role in the development of the Library in its early stages. 
Svitlana U. showed a presentation, this slide-show urged the group to remember and present in English the historical facts about Katerinoslav/Dnipropetrovsk and its history.
The group was impressed by the information about the library’s rare collection of the old books in English. Some of the old books were printed in the USA. It was very interesting to examine the old English textbooks from the pre-revolutionary and Soviet period.

We also watched cartoons about the library.
Participants numbers – 22 persons.
