The Dubliners also participated in a session of the “Let\u2019s Talk”<\/em> club and the Language Caf\u00e9, where they facilitated group discussions. During these discussions, guests introduced exercises that helped participants better understand the meaning of certain phrases or individual words in context. The club members had the opportunity to expand their vocabulary and learn more about Dublin\u2019s history while learning a traditional Irish song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the final day of the visit, the guests shared their feedback, positively evaluating the creative session with the library volunteers and the meeting with language learning enthusiasts. They expressed admiration for the dedication and creativity of the volunteers, the curiosity and eagerness to learn among the club participants, and the warm atmosphere created by the library community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volunteer Nora shared her impressions of the people improving their foreign language skills at the library:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt was especially wonderful to see how motivated your library visitors are to learn. The learning process brings them joy because it happens in a warm and friendly environment. We really liked the organization of the activities, especially the group discussions, where everyone feels relaxed and has a chance to speak. At our school, we strive to create a similar atmosphere, so your experience has truly inspired us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Peter Sheekey noted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYour learners are very open to new learning formats. They learned the traditional Irish song surprisingly quickly, enriching their vocabulary with new words and getting a closer look at Irish history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n During their stay in Panev\u0117\u017eys, the Dubliners visited not only the main library building, but also the Juozas Miltinis Memorial Apartment and the modern spaces of the Children and Youth Cultural Education Department. During the reflection session, the guests had high praise for the library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Peter Sheekey said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYour library functions excellently and carries out many innovative initiatives that we\u2019ll be happy to talk about when we return to Dublin, especially since our school collaborates with libraries. We were genuinely and pleasantly amazed by what Lithuanian libraries are doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volunteer Carol added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are incredibly grateful for the flawlessly organized visit and the wonderful tour of the library spaces, where we learned about the building\u2019s history and the challenges the architect had to overcome to realize their vision. What left a strong impression was your community engagement, the dedication of adult volunteers, and the amazing Children and Youth Cultural Education Department. Many of us have previously worked in schools, so we truly understand how important it is for young people to come into such cozy, colorful spaces full of interesting educational activities. We also thoroughly enjoyed visiting the apartment of theater director J. Miltinis \u2013 we had never had the chance to visit such a place before, where you can feel the special aura of an authentic environment and get a deep insight into the life and creative work of a legendary personality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volunteer Siobh\u00e1n concluded:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEvery library is a place for acquiring knowledge, whether it\u2019s scientific or fictional literature. But your library goes far beyond that\u2014your visitors discover not only books here but also opportunities to learn, to come together as a community, and to experience art.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Virginija \u0160vedien\u0117 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
