PRESERJE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL / SLOVENIA/EU: SCHOOL LIBRARY

The school library is the segment which every school should have. Library materials are being collected, kept, processed, represented and lent. Librarians also perform educational activities, i.e. librarian and information knowledge. The scope of these activities includes all the elements of ICT literacy, with a special emphasis on making use of the library and available data, which can be obtained in this connection.

The Ljubljana territory was in the ancient times a big lake. In the Neolithic period (3000 to 2000 B.C.) the lake dwellers lived on the lake in houses built on poles (next slide!) set in marshy lake bottom. A legend says that one day Jason and his Argonauts visited this territory.

Jason and his men from the ship called Argo, so the legend says, stole the Golden Fleece from the king of Colchis in Asia Minor (today the region of Caucasus). The ship of Argo escaped its pursuers but entered the mouth of the Danube instead of sailing southwards into the Aegean Sea. There was no way back for the fugitives, so they continued their way up the Danube, then up the river of Sava and finally had a stop at the source of the river Ljubljanica. They carried their ship in pieces overland to the Adriatic Sea and continued their way home alongside the Adriatic coast.Near the source of the Ljubljanica river they found a big lake with a marshy shore, where their leader Jason had to fight and kill a terrible moor monster. It looked like a dragon. This is the Ljubljana dragon that is seen today at the top of castle tower in the Ljubljana coat of arms.
