Description of the activity: 

In the second meeting of reading club, we meet in the library of Calarasi. The library is in an old, inappropriate building, with no windows. However in the near future a new library building will be finished and the activities of the librarians will be held in much better conditions.
The aim of the meeting was to share with librarians the method of organizing read aloud clubs for their reader, irrespective of age, culture. The participants were exclusive the employees of the library and we did not give any previous tasks.  We brought printed pages with short texts that the participants had read.  We prepared copies for everyone so they could follow the reading.
In the first part of the meeting we explained shortly the methods and how it can be adapted to the various target groups they may have. In the second part of the meeting we read together the texts and start a short discussion about it. The participants were more interested in how to carry out such an event and if this kind of activity can enhance the interest of young persons toward reading.
