A library from...scratch!

  A dreary-library! The image of the room that was about to host our school library was something like that! But the kids of the 10th Primary School, as genuine bookworms, deserve a much more beautiful place for reading! Not only for reading, actually! A place where they will be able to relax, let the stress off, but also have fun playing board games, doing puzzles or watching a video presentation! We had no choice, thus, but to give them such a place!
  We started out (how else?) by painting the room and we went on to sort the books out and classify them into categories... We added a sofa, some floor pillows and a carpet for warmth and games! There are still a few...artistic interventions (we'll be owing you an updatte on this), but our library iss ready to work!On Wednesday, during the second break, get in line to meet a new buddy: a book!

Hmmmm...
   
...now THIS...
   

...you can't call this a library room...


What do you think?
   

Shall we begin???
   
A good painting for starters...
   

...and the artistic details...

   
...by the artistic hands...!
   
What's wrong, Mr Dimitris? Are we tired???

In the meanwhile the bookcases must
be sorted out!
   
Besides, this is the issue in question..!

Of course, the artists...
   
...keep doing their job undistracted...!
   

Hey! Something's missing here!!!
   
Now we're talking...
   
Let's remember before and after again...!



   BEFORE...

   ...and AFTER...

A doll!

You must be getting tired of us thanking people, but it's impossible to NOT thank, for once more, our colleagues and friends, Yiouli Bosdelekidou and Dimitris Varelas who, despite the fact that they aren't teaching in our school, often give us their help and talent with great love for what they do!

...and don't forget: there are still lots of classroom in an emergency condition in our school...!!!

We read books to the little ones!

Now we have grown up! And we like reading a lot. We don't only study for school, but we also read extra-curricular books!
But we also want to "pass the virus on" to other people! Thus, we thought we could read some books to our first-grades!

Do you want to know how? It's very simple!
Each one of us took a book and read it!
We read them very well!
We read them really-really well!
And we visited the first grade!
We presented the books to the pupils and let them choose their favouites...


...and read them to them...












We did the same with our even younger ones-the primary school kids!














Do you want to have a look?



Of course we didn't leave with our hands empty! 
The Primary School children gave us their drawings which were inspired by our books, as presents!


...a beautiful butterfly!


...a big-eared hare!



"The StarCat"

From the book, "The Three Robbers"


Every one had a great time in the end! 
Because a book is the best company!!!
