September 20, 2006
Consul for Public Affairs Mark Wenig highlighted the UN-designated World Literacy Day and Children's Day for 40 fourth grade children from the Lessing Primary School, which took place at the Leipzig public library. After a lively Q&A session with the Consul in German and English, Wenig's wife Kjärstin and the children's librarian conducted a bilingual reading from Astrid Lindgren's "Children's Day in Bullerbü," followed by a quiz of common German and American vocabulary. Various objects from Lindgren’s Sweden were also displayed.
