Today I'm beginning to publish a series of articles for all you bookworms and library lovers out there! We're starting with one by my student Naz Mergen of Turkiye. She discovered an infinite book tower in Prague and asked to go see it. We're flexible, we took the time and wow, it was cool. Here she is in front of the tower.

At YJI's Global Conference in Prague, democracy was a recurring theme. ... See MoreSee Less
