Filling up school libraries – the Krka National Park is giving a new book to county schools
School libraries in Šibenik-Knin County are richer for another edition by the Public Institute Krka National Park. It is a photo monograph My Name is Krka.
The "Let's Fill Up School Libraries" project was launched in 2007 with the aim of donating books from the rich publishing activities of the Public Institute of Krka National Park to primary and secondary schools in Šibenik-Knin County, in order to foster love and affection for the Park and nature in general in children and young people. Education is one of the most important necessities in a protected area, and knowledge is the only thing that multiplies when shared. That is why those who know the Krka are its best spokespersons, and those who know how we can protect the environment are our pledge for the future.
The 264 pages of the photo monograph contain 218 photos divided into nine chapters, accompanied by a prose-poetry story. The authors of the photos are Mario Romulić and Dražen Stojčić, a photography duo from Osijek. In their artistic work, they are most often focused on impressive Croatian landscapes and cultural-historical motifs, so Croatia is often presented to the world through their photographs. The accompanying text was written by Dobrila Zvonarek, a professor of Croatian language and literature and a graduate in comparative literature. The text is, in fact, a prose-poetry story about the Krka River from its source to its estuary, told by she herself.
The rich publishing activity of the Public Institute of Krka National Park was launched in 1994. The Bibliography of Works About the Krka River was the first book published by the Public Institute of Krka National Park. It was published jointly by the City Library Juraj Šižgorić in Šibenik and the then Administration of the Krka National Park in 1994. Thirty years have passed since then, during which the Public Institute of Krka National Park has published sixty further bibliographic units.
