A word of the editress

Dear readers,

The new issue of the bimonthly magazine “Tačke kulture” [tatchkeh kooltoureh] (Cultural Points), which is proudly celebrating its 45th issue, is before you. As always, the magazine is available in braille, but also in PDF format through our platform www.onlinebiblioteka.net, which is how we continue to build a bridge between tradition and modern technologies.

In this issue, we guide you through a series of interesting and diverse topics: from new steps in the regional cooperation of our library, through inspiring stories from the world of art, to educational challenges, world curiosities and inevitable humour.

We highlight a special review of John Fante, a man whose literary value was only recognized years later, as well as emotional quotes by Jovan Dučić [Yorvan Dutchich] that remind us of the power of words.

“Tačke kulture” is created with the intention of being not only a source of information and entertainment, but also a space where culture becomes accessible and alive, without barriers.

Thank you for reading the magazine, writing and suggesting, because you confirm that culture belongs to everyone.

Your editress
