PUBLIC LIBRARIES IN BALTI

SCHOOL LIBRARIES

We have a library in each school. But they are very poor. The big part of books are old. The material is not useful. We can’t find there some books that we need to read for school.we would like to have there some contemporary books. We also would like to have some computerswith internet there. Our libraries seems to be just a store for textbooks and that’s all.

Theoretic lyceum “D. Cantemir”

He will not find it in the school libraries and may be even in little public libraries. 50% that he will find his book in the city library. But probably he will not be allowed to take it home or to take it just for several days. We think that way because many teenagers want to read the books from 21th century. But unfortunately our libraries don’t have such books.
