Thursday, October 4
This morning we attended a program presented by Jana Souflova, a fantasy illustrator and folk harpist. She talked to her audience about how she gets ideas for her drawings and played several pieces on her harp. Although the program was in Czech, we enjoyed the interactions with her audience which were middle school students. And, we didn't need to understand Czech to appreciate her harp playing. It was a treat! Although I don't know how to play, she let me sit down and strum her harp.

We also visited the Skolska branch of MLP, which is located in Nove Mesto. Skolska was the first automated branch opened by MLP in 1999. There are approximately 67,000 items in the collection comprised of books, cds and cassettes. They do not have dvds in any of their libraries. Kathy and I spent some time talking to the district manager, Martina Dokladalova. Martina visited the Queens Library as part of the reciprocal staff exchange program last year. On Saturday, we'll attend more programs related to the week of Libraries here in Prague.
