Polish book exchange launched

8:41am Friday 8th February 2008

POLISH children living in Cumbria will soon have more library books to choose from thanks to a new international book exchange scheme. Cumbria County Council's Library Service is set to receive dozens of Polish language books from the Zielona Gora public library in western Poland. The new books, which include titles such as The Amazing Adventures of Hodz Nasreddin and Following Tecumseh, will be added to the existing range of foreign language books available in Cumbria's libraries. In return, around 100 library books are being despatched to Poland to help children who are learning English as a second language.
