Media center receives Polish Culture Prize
On November 26, 2008, Polish Culture Minister Bogdan Zdrojewski presented this year’s Polish Culture Prize to the Bertelsmann Stiftung in the Royal Palace in Warsaw. The award, given in recognition of the foundation’s creation of a media center targeting young patrons in Wroclaw, was accepted by Katharina Rejdak and Anette Stein. The media center, known as the Mediateka, first opened its doors in 2004 and was the first such facility in Poland to target young people. The prize was awarded in the category of “Idea Donors.” During the award ceremony, the innovative concept was praised as having created a new direction of thought among Poland’s libraries.
