За поредна година РБ "П.Р.Славейков" посрещна десетки малки фенове на книгите от хитовата поредица за магьосника Хари Потър. Малчуганите бяха изненадани с приказен декор, наподобяващ Училището за магия и вълшебство Хогуортс. В духа на тазгодишната тема " Приятели и Недоброжелатели", доброволци на библиотеката се въплътиха в ролите на добри и лоши магьосници.

The (Un)Solved Case

  • Cover: soft

Ever since the Petko R. Slaveykov Regional Library launched a national competition for writing crime stories under the general title "The (Un)solved Case" in 2021, we have often been asked where, when, and how the submitted works could be read.

Fortunately, since mid-September 2025, we have been able to enjoy a printed book edition. This was made possible thanks to financial support from the Ministry of Culture under the program "Technological renewal, technological equipment, and promotion of reading, media, and information literacy in public libraries." The collection bears the same title, "The (Un)revealed Case," and contains all 23 stories by the participants who won prizes in the four editions of the competition held so far. Although some of the authors have had individual texts published previously, most of them are not professional writers in the true sense of the word. This undoubtedly adds even more significance to their intellectual efforts.
