Georgian literature corner opens in Charles University

Avid readers and enthusiasts of foreign literature in Prague can now enjoy Georgian books thanks to the opening of a Georgian book corner at one of the oldest and largest universities in the Czech Republic.

A selection of Georgian books are on their way to Charles University in Prague, where a Georgian book corner will be established. The University was founded in 1348 and was the first university in Central Europe.

Prague is 13^th city around the globe where Georgian book spaces have opened in universities of the world.

Director of Georgia’s National Library Giorgi Kekelidze has been invited to Charles University to give a public lecture in recognition of the opening of the Georgian book corner.

"The Georgian book corner does not contain only Georgian pieces of writings; it also includes foreign language literature about Georgia,” Kekelidze said.

Looking ahead, Georgian book corners will soon open in universities in Barcelona, Spain; Jakarta, Indonesia and New York, in the United States.
