Vilnius District school libraries in Lithuania are set to receive 2,500 Polish-language fiction books collected through the Literature Wave book campaign. The initiative was carried out with the local education community and Traugutt.org, an association based in Poland.<\/p>\n
The books are intended for schools in Vilnius District where teaching is conducted in Polish. Vilnius District is the municipality surrounding Lithuania\u2019s capital, Vilnius, and includes several communities with Polish-language education.<\/p>\n
According to Vilnius District Municipality, the collected books will reach 14 schools. The donation includes more than 320 titles, with an estimated total value of about 100,000 Polish zlotys.<\/p>\n
Municipal officials said the books were collected according to needs identified by the schools themselves. This means the libraries will receive fiction titles considered useful for pupils and teachers, rather than a random selection of donated books.<\/p>\n
The organisers said the Literature Wave campaign grew into a wider initiative across Poland. Organisations, schools, libraries and local communities joined the effort, while local collection points were set up in libraries, schools and cultural institutions.<\/p>\n
A meeting marking the conclusion of the campaign was held on May 29 at Vilnius District Municipality. Participants reviewed the results and discussed further educational and cultural initiatives in the district.<\/p>\n
Those attending included municipal administration director Vytautas Vansavi\u010dius, mayoral adviser Vida Montvydait\u0117, Education Department head Jaroslav Subo\u010d, senior specialist Renata Cytacka, representatives of educational institutions, and Traugutt.org representatives, including chair Jacek \u015awis and deputy chair Marta Gruszkowska.<\/p>\n
Municipal representatives said such initiatives help improve education quality and strengthen school libraries. They also noted that, although funding for educational institutions is being increased, additional support from projects and organisations remains important.<\/p>\n
Renata Cytacka, who initiated the book collection campaign, said pupil basket funding does not always cover all necessary educational materials. These funds are used for textbooks, fiction and children\u2019s literature, teaching materials for educators and other learning resources. She noted that translation costs for Polish-language textbooks can be high, making additional support for school libraries especially valuable.<\/p>\n
