The partnership between Vega-La Camocha Municipal Library (Spain) and Vodice Public Library (Croatia) continues with new activities 1 year after they agreed to work together.

Both of them have strong links with the Primary School of their communities. The partnership between these 2 libraries is making also a connection of these 2 Primary Schools: C.P. Jacinto Benavente in Spain and Osnovna škola Vodice in Croatia. For Saint Valentine’s Day, the 2 libraries along with the 2 schools and their English teachers planned an interchange of love and friendship messages in the shape of hearts between pupils between 9 and 10 years old. This way they encourage friendships that hopefully will last in time.

 

On Saint Valentine’s, the librarians went to the schools to collect the messages. In Vega-La Camocha library they have established a Support Group for homework and from this group messages were also sent. This activity is made in collaboration with the “Open Until Midnight” association, that works with youngsters.
