Gazi Husrev-beg Library hosts National Library Awareness Day in Bosnia and Herzegovina

The Gazi Husrev-beg Library marked National Library Awareness Day in Bosnia and Herzegovina by hosting a special screening for over 300 students and teachers. The event, held at the Novi Grad Sarajevo Municipality Multimedia Hall, featured the documentary-drama film ‘The Love of Books: A Sarajevo Story’.

The film depicts the efforts of library staff to protect and preserve the institution’s valuable collection of manuscripts and books during the Siege of Sarajevo, despite constant shelling and danger. Participants included students and faculty from Dobrinja Gymnasium, Fifth Gymnasium, Maarif International School, and other local institutions.

Šahsena Đulović, representing the library, emphasized the importance of using modern formats to connect younger generations with cultural heritage and the value of reading. The program was supported by the Novi Grad Sarajevo Municipality Service for Education, Culture, and Sport.
