Making Reading Fun @ Your Library!

Ms. Koenig reading to the young audience

December 11, 2008. Following what has become an annual joint tradition with the America Memorial Library branch of the Central and Regional Library Berlin, Natalie Koenig, spouse of Chargé d’Affaires John Koenig, joined youth librarian Karen Groening in a bilingual reading from selected award-winning youth books. The reading and accompanying book donation, just two of a number of joint activities with this and other libraries around the country, are part of the Embassy’s “America @ your library®” partnership initiative. A focal point of the initiative is the development of reading promotion activities to complement English teaching and social studies curriculum needs relating to the United States. photo gallery
