NEW BRITAIN, MAY 29, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The New Britain Public Library held a month-long celebration of Armenian culture, and traditional Armenian folk and fairy tales were presented during the celebration events. Amy Litke, head of the children's department noted that some of the fairy tales have themes similar to American stories. The library's "World of Words" program also includes other Armenian-themed events. Pat Watson, the library's assistant head of adult services noted that within the framework of the program they each year hold an event dedicated to some country's culture, literature and history. They usually select such country which is the homeland of other nations living in New Britain. On May 27 Armenian poetry was presented bilingually, in Armenian and in English, and on May 30 Armenian national music will be featured and national delicacy will be served.
