The traveling exhibition of posters "Public Library" by the American photographer Robert Dawson has arrived to the DOUNB Library. This cultural event was organized by the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, the America House Cultural Center and the IREX (Council for International Research and Exchanges, Kyiv).
Members of the “GABFEST” English-speaking club (Window on America center, misto Dnipro, Ukraine) with great interest examined Robert Dawson’s photo works displayed by the Information and Resource Center "Window to America".
There are almost 17,000 public libraries in the United States of America. All of them are different; each one has its own peculiarity. The communities of large cities have built and kept modern computerized libraries with theater halls and creative workshops. Provincial towns and villages have small, but cozy and well-stocked libraries. Every American resident can visit a library nearest to his home in order to find information, to meet popular writers, to attend concerts, to surf the Internet, to search for work online, to relax in beautiful interiors, or even to have a wedding. All this in addition to lending books.
Public libraries in America give the opportunity to access information. Information is freedom; freedom is what everyone needs for personal development and growth.
We invite everyone who likes books and libraries to get acquainted with the exhibition “Public Library in the USA”.
The exhibition is displayed on the premises of the Foreign Languages department of the DOUNB Library (Dnipro, prospekt D.Yavornytskogo, room 18).
You are welcome during the library's office hours:
Monday to Thursday from 10-00 to 18-00
Saturday – from 10-00 to 17-00.
