“BOOKS ON WHEELS” (MOBILE LIBRARIES BY PYRNA)
2015
ACTION SUMMARY
As part of this program, sacks of books on a preassigned topic are sent to schools across Messinia. With this opportunity, the teachers monitor the lending process, and focus accordingly on the specific theme of the books. After about a month, the sacks travel to another school. The Foundation has sponsored five book “loads” on the following topic: “Western Peloponnese: History, Art and Culture.” The books have been sent together with the relevant educational leaflets referring to the archaeological sites in the area (original material). So far, the sacks have reached ten schools. In addition, as part of this program 6 visits of 50 schoolchildren have been arranged in Ancient Messini, 2 in Vasses, Figaleia, and 2 in Olympia. Moreover, 4 more sacks have been sent out, on the purely agricultural topic “Gardens, orchards and products of our land.”
