From 5 to 22 November 2024, the National and University Library in Zagreb (NSK) will be hosting the exhibition marking the 70th<\/sup> anniversary of the publication of the first issue of Modra lasta<\/a><\/em>, Croatia\u2019s longest-running teenage magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spotlighting Lastan, the magazine\u2019s hugely popular agony uncle, better still, a \u201cbig brother\u201d figure for countless generations of Croatian teenagers over the past seven decades, the exhibition is jointly being organised by the Library, Croatian School Museum<\/a>, Croatian Association of School Librarians<\/a> and the \u0160kolska knjiga<\/a> company, which has published Modra lasta<\/em> since 1968, and will be held as part of the 2024 Croatian Book Month<\/a> with the support of the Croatian Ministry of Culture and Media<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Library holds in its collections<\/a> all the popular magazine\u2019s issues<\/a>, which have been a sort of a \u201cteenage bible\u201d for adolescents in Croatia since 1954. Featuring the most representative of these issues, a documentary by Irena \u0160kori\u0107 and a wide array of interactive content, the Dear Lastan!<\/em> exhibition will give an overview of the iconic magazine\u2019s development from its first issue to its current form and present the contribution that a great number of dedicated professionals in various fields made to it since its inception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from workshops for primary school children and roundtable discussions, the exhibition programme will also include a symposium for school librarians and teachers on the significance of teen magazines and magazines for children<\/a> in stimulating creativity and popularising reading among children and young people as well as in terms of their potential as an immensely useful tool in education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
