The First Intercultural Program in the Library Commons

2/2/2025

0 Comments

 
Community members gathered on January 16 for Ukrainian Game Night. There were cards, board games, snacks, lots of laughter and talk—and importantly, ideas for future gatherings. How about Ukrainian cooking classes once the Commons kitchen is open? Food is always a draw, and teaching others to make simple, traditional meals serves as a window to appreciating one another’s cultures. 

The Library is working to expand its Ukrainian book titles, and in the larger picture, is also developing its world languages collection. As Dr. Suess wrote, “The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”  And you don’t even have to leave Mount Vernon. Ghanian cooking classes, anyone?  
​
Ukrainian Game Night was just the beginning of using the Library’s new space to bring more people and their families together to share cultures and help make us a more cohesive community.
