The paper deals with the history of English literature in the context of bibliophile editions of the 19th century prints published abroad and preserved in Slovak National Library (SNL). The subject of the paper is the ballad The Rime of the Ancient Mariner in the representative New York edition with illustrations by Gustav Doré. The author presents Samuel Taylor Coleridge's ballad as a cultural phenomenon, but above all to also point out the abundance of the SNL's collections and the possibilities of getting to know and presenting important works, as well as the relationships they often contain in the form of handwritten or printed notes. This specimen is no exception -- the signs declare a connection with the dedicators and owners who owned the ballad before it became part of the SNL's collections. Regardless of the owner, the New York edition of the ballad represents a certain representative form of the most significant literary works of the 19th century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper summarizes the main idea and activities of the 11th International Festival of Library Events for Children held in Slniečko Children's Library, which is a part of P. O. Hviezdoslav Regional Library in Prešov. The central theme of the event was hoaxes, misinformation and critical thinking, and it reflected on the need for the education of children and young people in the field of media literacy, including methodological guidance for librarians involved in this type of events. The author of the paper describes the theme of each event, which in a more or less interactive form presented young readers with the essentials associated with working with information in a media context, including activities to stimulate their critical thinking. The output of each of the events consists of methodical guidelines that allow continuing education within relevant library events for children and young people. Libraries can be considered centres of lifelong learning which should reflect on the current situation in society and educate readers at an early age in this manner. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
