On Tuesday, June 23rd, starting at 11 o’clock, our Library is going to organize a ceremony in its “Miličko Miketić” [Milichko Miketich] hall, where awards will be presented to high school students who won the first three places in the literary competition on the topic “The Library: A Treasure Trove of Books and Trust”, announced on the occasion of the Library’s 20th anniversary.
From a large number of submitted works by high school students from several towns in Montenegro, a three-member jury, consisting of: Miljan Nikolić [Milyan Nikolich], writer and literary critic from Podgorica – chair of the jury, Ivana Nikitović [Ivana Nikitovich], professor of literature from Podgorica – member and Hana Dubak [Hannar Doobak], librarian of The Library of Accessible Formats of Montenegro “Vojislav Minić” [Voyislav Mineech] from Podgorica – member, chose three essays that stood out.
The first place was won by the work of Anđela Todorović [Andyela Todorovich], a student of the third grade of the Prva srednja stručna škola [Perva srednya stroochna shkola] (First Vocational High School) from Nikšić, the second place went to Hana Hadžibegović [Hannar Hadzhibegovich], a student of the first grade of the Srednja stručna škola [Srednya stroochna shkola] (Vocational High School) from Bar, while the work of Dragan Kadrić [Dragan Kadrich], a student of the second grade of the Gymnasium “Slobodan Škerović” [Slobodan Shkerovich] from Podgorica, took third place.
