The basis of the e-library is a collection of English books, with books in the national languages of the participating countries being extended progressively.
This e-library is publicly accessible at: https://www.theloveofreading.eu/elibrary/
Other outputs are regular reading clubs for students and the production of various teaching materials for the books, such as crosswords, worksheets, etc.
Meeting programme
The agenda of the meeting was mainly to solve tasks related to the implementation of the project. An
integral part of each meeting is also establishing personal contacts, sharing working experience and getting to know the participating organizations and the countries visited. In Ostrava, we gave the partners
a tour of the library, a short workshop with educational robots in our makerspace workshop and an introduction to the digitization workplace.
Visitors were very enthusiastic about the concert of the Janáček Philharmonics Ostrava, and we organized
a guided tour of the Lower Vítkovice area and the Landek Mining Museum. We showed the participants Ostrava from the height of the City Hall Tower and we finished the visit with a trip to Hukvaldy Castle and
the historic town of Štramberk. Part of the exploration of our region was also a tasting of local food and regional products – the souvenirs were, among other things, special cakes called frgals and a local sweet called Štramberk ears.
Finally
Participation in the meeting was paid by the participants from the project funds of the individual organisations.
MSRL as the host organisation was responsible for the preparation, organisation of the
programme and its financial settlement.
We had an enthusiastic response to the meeting in Ostrava and
very good feedback. We would like to thank all our colleagues from the library who helped us to organize
the event and create a nice atmosphere for the meeting. The friends from the project felt that they were welcome and appreciated the opportunity to get to know our library and our region. We hope to use the
good relations across Europe that we have established in this way in future international projects.
