There is a child standing in front of the entrance door and it is locked. “Oh, we are too early”, I say to the boy. “No, we are not,” says the boy with a slightly impatience tone. He would like to get inside. Wow, this boy is into reading books, I think. He can´t wait for the library to open.
“Well, yes, I am sure he likes books, but he likes the internet connection slightly more”, says Ms. Maja, the librarian as she unlocks the door a minute later.
We are very lucky to have such a great library in Jelsa. A library with a long tradition, with many many books to read, with a kids section and an internet connection on 2 open-space floors in a modern, yet very welcoming and warm design. I love the place.
Kids like to gather there to play PC games. To manage it somehow, not to have them spend too much time in front of a screen, there are rules to be followed – one hour per person per day. And so, Josip was there on time for the library opening (the afternoon shift) to use his time. Sweet boy with a passion in libraries and computers.
And Josip was there last Friday too, when he, together with other kids made some Winter and Christmas decoration. A great job, they did. Beautiful snow-flakes, a Christmas tree and angels decorate the library to create the perfect holiday spirit..
