📚☀️ Održali smo i posljednji susret našeg čitateljskog kluba Book Club prije ljetne pauze!

U ugodnom društvu razgovarali smo o knjigama, razmijenili dojmove i preporuke te još jednom potvrdili koliko nas čitanje povezuje. Hvala svim članovima koji su tijekom godine svojim sudjelovanjem, komentarima i zanimljivim raspravama obogatili naše susrete.
Hvala Ivana English o'Clock na odličnim preporukama i izborima knjiga za čitanje kao i izvrsnom vođenju susreta.

Želimo vam ljeto ispunjeno dobrim knjigama, novim pričama i trenucima opuštanja uz omiljeno štivo. Vidimo se ponovno na jesen! 📖😍

Affiliate American Corner Zagreb : 3D radovi naših malih kreativaca u Knjižnici Jelkovec.
Svaki rad ima svoju priču — a svaki početak kreće od jedne ideje. ✍️✨
Na radionici 3D olovke nastaju zanimljivi oblici, ukrasi i male konstrukcije koje pokazuju koliko dječja kreativnost može biti maštovita kad dobije pravi alat.
Nama je svaki rad poseban, a vama?
Dođite i stvarajte svoje oblike!🦚🐦‍🔥🍀
