Gazettenet.com has This Report on 16 librarians from the Republic of Georgia, formerly of the U.S.S.R., visiting as part of a program Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
For most of the librarians, this is their first trip to the U.S. Their primary goal – to learn about American library services that go beyond the traditional book repository role – is sometimes superseded by the mere fact they are here.
“It was my dream to see the United States, to meet Americans and to get to know American customs and traditions,” said Nunu Ch’elidze, director of the Poti Public Library. “We look similar – we just speak different languages.”
