The Krka National Park is proudly continuing its cooperation with educational institutions and school libraries in Šibenik-Knin County

Since 2007, a project called “Let's fill up school libraries” has been carried out, with the aim of making books published by the Krka National Park available to children and young people, and to raise awareness of the importance of protected areas and environmental preservation.

The project has reached a new milestone in its mission of enriching school libraries, this time through cooperation with the Šibenik Student Center. On Wednesday, November 8, 2023, books published by the Krka National Park were donated by the Krka National Park to the library of the Palacin Student Dormitory.

“The Public Institute of Krka National Park has been successfully cooperating with the Polytechnic in Šibenik for years. Students of the Polytechnic often volunteer, attend educational workshops, or perform summer student jobs in the Park. Some of the students decide to write their final papers about the Krka National Park and its management, and we are always at their disposal, and I believe that these books will also be useful literature for them,” said the director of the Krka National Park, Nella Slavica, who also added: “We want the cooperation between the National University of Krka and the Šibenik Student Center to be continuous and diverse in order to let young people know that they are being educated in an environment that thinks about and cares for them, and in which we can create a common future.”

The donated books are a valuable source of knowledge and information about the Krka River, the Krka National Park, and the natural and cultural features of this area. Among the books that will enrich the student library are titles such as A Bibliography of Works on the Krka River, A Natural History Guide, The Legend of the Krka, A Guide to the Krka River, Forest Biodiversity, and many others that will be of invaluable help to students engaged in research and study into the field of the Krka National Park.

“Thank you for the valuable donation. This cooperation will enable our students to access extremely valuable material about the Krka National Park, the natural and cultural riches of the area, and environmental preservation. The donated books will be an invaluable resource for our students when preparing seminars and final papers. The received donation has enabled the Šibenik Student Center to further enrich the student library of the Palacin Student Dormitory. I would like to emphasize that this kind of cooperation reflects the importance of partnerships between educational institutions that care about student standards and local organizations, so as to create better conditions for the education of the younger generations together”, stated the director of the Šibenik Student Center, Nikolina Čvorak Šego.

This project is just one in a series of initiatives that the Krka National Park has undertaken in order to educate the youngers generation and encourage them to actively participate in the struggle to preserve nature and the environment. Those who are aware of the beauty of the Krka River and appreciate its features will be its best spokespersons, further contributing to efforts to preserve this unique natural treasure for future generations.
