We organize literature, poetry and photography workshops and contests, as well. We are very proud of various regular exhibitions held in the library galleries. To meet our customers’ needs and accompany their social life, the library organizes and takes part in various educational projects aimed at people of different ages having peculiar demands. We are taking part in the “Digital Poland of Equal Opportunities” programme, which focuses on digital education of grown-up Poles in their local environment. We lead the Local Coding Club where young people can learn a lot about new technologies. We carry out many national and international projects. One of them is an voluntary project called CREATIVE CULTURAL CHALLENGES that we have been implementing since 2016. People love our library and visit it with pleasure.

The aim of the CREATIVE CULTURAL CHALLENGES project is encouraging initiative, creativity and active participation of youth in public and cultural life, as well as expertise-based development of our library. This will create an opportunity to broaden our cultural offer with new activities, guaranteeing growing interest in European cultural diversity - and the library - among the locals. The project enables and encourages young people to play an active role in their local communities, first in Poland, and then in their homeland. The project helps develop solidarity, tolerance and responsibility, promotes European diversity in an attractive manner, and teaches respect for it, permitting young people from different societies to carry out common actions, creating broad possibilities of intercultural learning.
