The Adventure Begins....

Monday, October 1

KD and I are visiting the "city of a hundred spires," Prague. We are two librarians who had the good fortune to come to Prague as part of a cooperative exchange program between the Municipal Library of Prague (MLP) http://www.mlp.cz/ and Queens Library http://www.queenslibrary.org/. While we are visiting the Municipal Library of Prague and learning about international libraries and librarianship, two of our associates from the Municipal Library will be leaving for New York in a couple of days to visit the Queens Library.

We are staying in an apartment which belongs to the MLP. It's located around the corner from the Library and is in the region known as Stare Mesto, Old Town. Old Town is the heart of the city and its central square. We are right across the street from the post office and around the corner from the Metro station. We also have many shops and restaurants nearby. We could not ask for a better location.

After exchanging our U.S. Dollars for Czech Crowns, KD and I headed over to MLP to meet with the Manager of the Marketing Department who gave us our schedule for our two-week visit.

Stay tuned for more details.

Hey Donna,

Glad you are having a great time. John comes in from Japan on Monday, I will ask him if there is anything that you just HAVE to do while you are there. He loves Prague. Library in good hands while you are gone :). See you soon.
