A WORD FROM THE EDITRESS
Dear Readers,
After celebrating our major anniversary, we are stepping into a new chapter with even greater enthusiasm and renewed energy. Before you is the 51st issue of “Tačke kulture” [tatchkeh kooltoureh] (Cultural Points), an edition that proudly opens a new chapter in our shared journey, reminding us that culture never stands still – it continues to grow and earn new recognition.
And speaking of recognition, this issue’s From the Library section brings exciting news for our institution. We are proud to share that our Library has been awarded the prestigious “Dr. Niko Simov Martinović” Award, as well as our impressions from the 20th International Podgorica Book and Education Fair, where we presented our work. We also take you to Cetinje, where the monograph The First Library of Accessible Formats in Montenegro 2006–2026 was promoted, further affirming our two decades of dedication to inclusion and a culture without barriers.
In Cultural Heritage, we debunk long-standing myths about the Cyrillic script that continue to be repeated without justification, while also reflecting on the melancholy and tragic fate of the renowned Koštana.
Our World of Art and Culture section brings you a selection of carefully chosen poems, while Scientific and Educational Topics takes you on a fascinating journey into the past, leading to an archaeological sensation in Greece, the recently discovered interior of a tomb linked to Alexander the Great.
If you thought reality could no longer surprise you, The World Around Us and We in It will prove otherwise with the story of a town where dying is prohibited by law, as well as the unusual phenomenon of “grandmothers for rent.”
Keeping pace with technological developments, Challenges of the Contemporary Age explores the introduction of Meta’s premium subscriptions and the groundbreaking scientific achievement of an artificial egg that could one day help bring extinct species back to life.
As always, we conclude this issue with relaxation and entertainment. The Trivia, Humour and Entertainment section brings you daily reflections, witty aphorisms, sports news, and culinary recipes, while for a literary escape we have prepared an excerpt from the internationally bestselling novel Fifty Shades of Grey by E. L. James. And, of course, our regular puzzles are here once again to put your mind to the test.
We would also like to remind you that this 51st issue is available in digital format on our web platform, Online Library (www.onlinebiblioteka.net).
Thank you for turning these new pages with us and for being the most valuable part of our cultural story.
Warm regards,
The Editress
