Autumn is the harvest season. Not only of garden and vegetable goodness, but also of knowledge – let's start loading our heads with knowledge as autumn begins! It is relevant not only for schoolchildren or students, learning is worth a lifetime!
„In the midst of the "Literary Autumn" season, the library has been promoting reading culture, emotional literacy, and intellectual curiosity through various educational and community activities during this gloomy period.
The month of October is dedicated to strengthening emotional and digital literacy. Starting with the "Uncomfortable Cinema" screenings for children, youth and adults, getting underway with the Youth Line's "Green Light for Life" campaign, and ending October with "MIRKT Week" (did you miss Patikrėnai?), Anykštė residents and city guests are invited to the library to improve their emotional literacy and intellectual curiosity competencies in an interactive, fun and safe environment.
October 10th is World Mental Health Day. Not limited to just one day, we offer you a whole range of activities – visit the "Uncomfortable Cinema" screenings:

Responding to the theme of emotional literacy, on October 15 at 5:30 p.m. We invite you to the presentation of Jurga Žąsinaitė's historical novel "Stronger than Fate". The novel reveals the little-known life story of Livija Majoresku-Dimšienė, one of the most beautiful landlady's in Lithuania, the daughter of the famous Romanian intellectual and politician Tito Majoresku - she endured the threats of the First and Second World Wars, buried her youngest daughter, mother, father, husband, and survived the exile of her relatives to harsh Siberia. However, despite great trials and often a burden too heavy for women's shoulders, she managed the Ilzenberg estate for many years, taking care not only of the people who worked here and their families, but also of the cultural, social, and Lithuanian-friendly life. The event will be moderated by Jurgita Bražėnaitė-Christiansen.
In the last week of October - from 24 to 31 - the library community invites residents of the Anykščiai region to strengthen their information literacy knowledge, offer to learn more about fake news and manipulation, strengthen critical thinking skills, and become active, insightful, responsible information users and members of communities.
