“A Book from the Heart” – a successful campaign to mark International Book Giving Day
This Valentine’s Day at Krka National Park, books were given and received

In addition to being Valentine’s Day, 14 February is also International Book Giving Day. To celebrate this, from 13 to 19 February we held the campaign “A Book from the Heart” in which citizens could bring (at least) two books in good condition to the souvenir shop of the Public Institute of Krka National Park, and in return receive a gift of the book The Legend of the Krka, in Croatian or English. During the one-week campaign, a total of 229 books of varying topics were received and 102 copies of The Legend of the Krka were given.

The staff of the Public Institute of Krka National Park distributed the collected books to three different addresses, bringing joy to the residents of the elderly homes in Šibenik and Oklaj, and the children at the Paediatric Ward of Šibenik General Hospital. We hope that the gifted books will be not only informational, but will fill their days with imagination, and with different worlds and distant lands. We would like to send a heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in this campaign.
