Book Display: Verity in a Dictionary

To commemorate the US Dictionary Day Window to America center in Dnipro presented to the patrons the display of dictionaries from its collection - Verity in a Dictionary. The US Dictionary day is dedicated to the birthday of Noah Webster (October 16) – the American linguist, lexicographer, author of the American English Dictionary
The WOA’s dictionaries are colorful and actively used.
We invited WOA’s patrons to show their favorite dictionaries. Maryna Repan on Webster’s New World College Dictionary: “I see a lot of information, convenient layout, easy search, original design of the pages”
Valentyna Kovalenko on Webster’s New World College Dictionary: “I was amazed to find in the US biographical dictionary information about the Ukrainian hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky!”
All ditionaries were donated to the DOUNB Library by the US Embassy in Ukraine and the Sabre-Svitlo Foundation within the 25 years of friendship between the Ukrainian and American people.
