How to design a library that makes kids want to read | Michael Bierut

So there's this thing called the law of unintended consequences.

Postoji jedna stvar zvana zakon nenamjernih posljedica.

I thought it was just like a saying,

Mislio sam da je to samo izraz,

but it actually exists, I guess.

ali, valjda doista postoji.

There's, like, academic papers about it.

Čak su o tome pisani i akademski članci.

And I'm a designer.

A ja sam dizajner.

I don't like unintended consequences.

Ne volim nenamjerne posljedice.

People hire me because they have consequences that they really intend,

Ljudi me zapošljavaju jer imaju stvarno namjerne posljedice,

and what they intend is for me to help them achieve those consequences.

a ono što je meni namijenjeno je da im pomognem ostvariti te posljedice.

So I live in fear of unintended consequences.

Tako da živim u strahu od nenamjernih posljedica.

And so this is a story about consequences intended and unintended.

A ovo je priča o namjernim i nenamjernim posljedicama.

I got called by an organization called Robin Hood

Zvala me organizacija zvana Robin Hood

to do a favor for them.

da im učinim uslugu.

Robin Hood is based in New York, a wonderful philanthropic organization

Imaju sjedište u New Yorku, i doista su prekrasna filantropska organizacija

that does what it says in the name.

koja radi kako joj i ime govori.

They take from rich people, give it to poor people.

Uzima od bogatih, daje siromašnima.

In this case, what they wanted to benefit was the New York City school system,

U ovom slučaju, htjeli su pomoći školskom sustavu grada New Yorka,

a huge enterprise that educates more than a million students at a time,

ogromnom poduzeću koje obrazuje više od milijun učenika istovremeno,

and in buildings that are like this one,

i u zgradama poput ove,

old buildings, big buildings,

starim zgradama, velikim zgradama,

drafty buildings, sometimes buildings that are in disrepair,

zgradama punih propuha, ponekad i u zapuštenim zgradama,

certainly buildings that could use a renovation.

zasigurno zgradama kojima bi koristilo preuređivanje.

Robin Hood had this ambition to improve these buildings in some way,

Robin Hood ima za cilj poboljšati te zgrade na neki način,

but what they realized was

ali ono što su shvatili je

to fix the buildings would be too expensive and impractical.

da će popravak zgrada biti preskup i nepraktičan.

So instead they tried to figure out what one room they could go into

Tako da su pokušali zaključiti u koju prostoriju mogu ući

in each of these buildings, in as many buildings that they could,

od svake od tih zgrada, u koliko god zgrada su mogli,

and fix that one room

i popraviti tu jednu sobu

so that they could improve the lives of the children inside

tako da bi poboljšali živote djece koja su unutra

as they were studying.

dok uče.

And what they came up with was the school library,

I dosjetili su se školske knjižnice,

and they came up with this idea called the Library Initiative.

došli su na ideju zvanu Inicijativa za knjižnice.

All the students have to pass through the library.

Svi učenici moraju proći kroz knjižnicu.

That's where the books are.

Tamo su knjige.

That's where the heart and soul of the school is.

Tamo je srce i duša škole.

So let's fix these libraries.

Pa hajdemo popraviti knjižnice.

So they did this wonderful thing where they brought in

I ono što su oni uradili je prekrasno, doveli su

first 10, then 20, then more architects,

prvo 10, pa 20, i onda još arhitekata,

each one of whom was assigned a library to rethink what a library was.

kojima su dodijelili po jednu knjižnicu sa zadatkom da promisle što je knjižnica.

They trained special librarians.

Obučili su specijalne knjižničare.

So they started this mighty enterprise

I tako su započeli to moćno poduzeće

to reform public schools by improving these libraries.

za reformu javnih škola poboljšavanjem knjižnica.

Then they called me up and they said, "Could you make a little contribution?"

I onda su me nazvali i rekli: "Možeš li malo pridonijeti?"

I said, "Sure, what do you want me to do?"

Odgovorio sam: "Naravno, što želite da uradim?"

And they said, "Well, we want you to be the graphic designer

Pa su rekli: "Pa, želimo da budeš grafički dizajner

in charge of the whole thing."

zadužen za cijelu stvar."

And so I thought, I know what that means. That means I get to design a logo.

Pomislio sam, znam što to znači. To znači da ću morati dizajnirati logotip.

I know how to design that. I design logos.

Znam kako dizajnirati. Dizajniram logotipove.

That's what people come to me for.

Zbog toga mi ljudi dolaze.

So OK, let's design a logo for this thing.

Dakle, OK, hajdemo dizajnirati taj logo.

Easy to do, actually, compared with architecture

Vrlo lako, kad se usporedi s arhitekturom

and being a librarian.

i knjižničarima.

Just do a logo, make a contribution, and then you're out,

To je samo logo, doprinesi, i gotov si,

and you feel really good about yourself.

i osjećat ćeš se jako dobro.

And I'm a great guy and I like to feel good about myself when I do these favors.

A ja sam super tip i volim se osjećati dobro kada činim takve usluge.

So I thought, let's overdeliver.

Pomislio sam, napravit ću i više.

I'm going to give you three logos, all based on this one idea.

Dat ću vam tri logotipa, sva tri prema istoj ideji.

So you have three options, pick any of the three.

Tako da imate tri opcije, izaberite bilo koju.

They're all great, I said.

Sve su odlične, rekao sam.

So the basic idea was these would be new school libraries

I osnovna ideja je bila ta da će to biti nove školske knjižnice

for New York schools,

za njujorške škole,

and so the idea is that it's a new thing, a new idea that needs a new name.

a to znači da je ideja nova stvar, nova ideja kojoj je potrebno i novo ime.

What I wanted to do was dispel the idea that these were musty old libraries,

Ono što sam ja htio napraviti je odbaciti ideju pljesnivih starih knjižnica,

the kind of places that everyone is bored with,

onakvih koje su dosadile svima,

you know, not your grandparents' library.

znate, knjižnice kakve imaju djedovi i bake.

Don't worry about that at all.

Oko toga se ne morate brinuti.

This is going to this new, exciting thing,

Ovo će biti sasvim novo, uzbudljivo,

not a boring library.

ne neka dosadna knjižnica.

So option number one:

I opcija broj jedan:

so instead of thinking of it as a library,

umjesto da razmišljamo o mjestu kao knjižnici,

think of it as a place where it is like: do talk, do make loud noises.

razmislimo o mjestu gdje su pravila: pričaj, buči.

Right? So no shushing, it's like a shush-free zone.

Jel? Nema šuštanja, to je zona-bez-šuštanja.

We're going to call it the Reading Room.

To ćemo nazvati Čitaonica.

That was option number one. OK, option number two.

I to je opcija broj jedan. OK, opcija broj dva.

Option number two was, wait for it,

Opcija broj dva je bila, pazi sad,

OWL.

SOVA.

I'll meet you at OWL.

Vidimo se u SOVI.

I'm getting my book from the OWL. Meet you after school down at OWL.

Knjigu ću posuditi u SOVI. Vidmo se u SOVI poslije škole.

I like that, right? Now, what does OWL stand for?

To mi se sviđa, jel. E sad, što znači SOVA?

Well, it could be One World Library,

Pa, moglo bi značiti Svijet Odgonetaka Vizija i Analiza.

or it could be Open. Wonder. Learn.

ili Sanjati. Odgonetnuti. Vjerovati. Analizirati.

Or it could be -- and I figure librarians could figure out other things it could be

Ili bi moglo -- vjerujem da bi knjižničari mogli shvatiti što sve SOVA može biti

because they know about words.

jer se oni razumiju u riječi.

So other things, right?

Sad druge stvari, jel.

And then look at this. It's like the eye of the owl.

I pogledajte sada ovo. Poput sovinog oka.

This is irresistible in my opinion.

Po mom mišljenju, neodoljivo.

But there's even another idea.

Ali postoji još jedna ideja.

Option number three.

Opcija broj tri.

Option number three was based actually on language.

Opcija broj tri se zasniva na jeziku.

It's the idea that "read" is the past tense of "read,"

To je ideja da je riječ "read" (čitati) ista kao u prošlom vremenu "read" (čitao),

and they're both spelled the same way.

obje se pišu jednako.

So why don't we call this place The Red Zone?

Zašto ne bi ovo mjesto nazvali The Red Zone (Crvena zona)?

I'll meet you at the Red Zone.

Naći ćemo se u Red Zoni.

Are you Red? Get Red.

Jesi li Red? Budi Red.

I'm well Red.

Ja sam poprilično Red.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

I really loved this idea,

Ova ideja mi se svidjela

and I somehow was not focused on the idea

i nekako nisam bio fokusiran na mišljenje

that librarians as a class are sort of interested in spelling and I don't know.

kako su knjižničari kao skupina ljudi zainteresirani za pravilno sricanje i to.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

But sometimes cleverness is more important than spelling,

Ali ponekad je pamet važnija od sricanja.

and I thought this would be one of those instances.

i mislio sam da će i ovo biti jedan od takvih slučajeva.

So usually when I make these presentations

Pa obično kada radim ove prezentacije

I say there's just one question and the question should be,

smatram da postoji jedno pitanje koje glasi

"How can I thank you, Mike?"

"Mike, kako ti mogu zahvaliti?“

But in this case, the question was more like,

A u ovom slučaju, pitanje je zvučalo više kao

"Um, are you kidding?"

"Um, šališ se, jel'da?“

Because, they said,

Jer, rekli su,

the premise of all this work

poanta cijelog ovog posla

was that kids were bored with old libraries, musty old libraries.

je da su djeci dosadile stare, pljesnive knjižnice.

They were tired of them.

Dosta im ih je bilo.

And instead, they said, these kids have never really seen a library.

A umjesto, rekli su, ta djeca nikad doista nisu ni vidjela knjižnicu.

The school libraries in these schools

Školske knjižnice u tim školama

are really so dilapidated, if they're there at all,

se tako rijetko posjećuju, ako i uopće,

that they haven't bored anyone.

da nikome nisu ni dosadile.

They haven't even been there to bore anyone at all.

Uopće ni ne postoje da bi nekome i dosadile.

So the idea was, just forget about giving it a new name.

Tako da sam razmislio, jednostavno zaboraviti dati novo ime.

Just call it, one last try, a library.

Nazvati ih, jednom za kraj, knjižnica.

Right? OK.

Jel'da? OK.

So I thought, OK, give it a little oomph?

Pa sam mislio, OK, dati malo "oomph“?

Exclamation point?

Uskličnik?

Then -- this is because I'm clever --

I zatim – a ovo je zato što sam bistar --

move that into the "i,"

pomaknut ću ovo u „i,"

make it red,

obojiti u crveno,

and there you have it, the Library Initiative.

i eto vam, Knj!žnična Inicijativa.

So I thought, mission accomplished, there's your logo.

I mislio sam, misija završena, evo vam logo.

So what's interesting about this logo, an unintended consequence,

A ono što je zanimljivo je ta nenamjerna posljedica,

was that it turned out that they didn't really even need my design

tako da je ispalo da oni uopće nisu trebali moj dizajn

because you could type it any font, you could write it by hand,

jer možete ga napisati u bilo kojem fontu, čak i rukom,

and when they started sending emails around,

tako da kad su počeli slati e-mailove uokolo,

they just would use Shift and 1,

pritisnuli bi Shift i 1,

they'd get their own logo just right out of the thing.

stvorio bi im se vlastiti logo gotovo iz ničega.

And I thought, well, that's fine.

I pomislio sam, pa, to je u redu.

Feel free to use that logo.

Slobodno koristite taj logo.

And then I embarked on the real rollout of this thing --

I onda mi je sinulo što je stvarni ishod ove cijele stvari --

working with every one of the architects

rad sa svakim od tih arhitekata

to put this logo on the front door of their own library. Right?

kako bi postavili logo na ulazna vrata njihove knjžnice. Jel'da?

So here's the big rollout.

I evo taj veliki ishod.

Basically I'd work with different architects.

U principu, radio bih s različitim arhitektima.

First Robin Hood was my client. Now these architects were my client.

Prvo mi je Robin Hood bio klijent. Sada su mi klijenti ovi arhitekti.

I'd say, "Here's your logo. Put it on the door."

Rekao bih "Evo vam logo. Stavite ga na vrata.“

"Here's your logo. Put it on both doors."

"Evo vam logo. Stavite ga na oba vrata.“

"Here's your logo. Put it off to the side."

"Evo vam vaš logo. Stavite ga na stranu.“

"Here's your logo repeated all over to the top."

"Evo vam vaš logo ponavljan mnogo puta.“

So everything was going swimmingly.

I sve je išlo jako dobro.

I just was saying, "Here's your logo. Here's your logo."

Samo sam govorio, "Evo vam vaš logo. Evo vam vaš logo.“

Then I got a call from one of the architects,

Zatim me nazvao jedan od arhitekata,

a guy named Richard Lewis, and he says, "I've got a problem.

tip imenom Richard Lewis, koji mi reče, "Imam problem.

You're the graphics guy. Can you solve it?"

Ti si grafičar. Možeš li ga riješiti?“

And I said, OK, sure."

Rekoh "OK, naravno.“

And he said, "The problem is that there's a space

Objasnio mi je: "Problem je u tome što postoji prostor

between the shelf and the ceiling."

između police i stropa.“

So that sounds like an architectural issue to me,

A meni to zvuči kao arhitektonski problem

not a graphic design issue, so I'm, "Go on."

a ne grafičarski, rekao sam "Nastavi.“

And Richard says, "Well, the top shelf has to be low enough

I Richard reče "Pa, donja polica mora biti dovoljno niska

for the kid to reach it,

da ju dijete može dosegnuti,

but I'm in a big old building, and the ceilings are really high,

a ja sam u velikoj staroj zgradi gdje su stropovi doista visoki,

so actually I've got all this space up there

tako da ovdje gore imam sav taj prostor

and I need something like a mural."

i treba mi nešto poput murala.“

And I'm like, "Whoa, you know, I'm a logo designer.

A ja onak, „Vau, znaš, ja sam ti dizajner logotipova.

I'm not Diego Rivera or something.

Nisam Diego Rivera ili netko takav.

I'm not a muralist."

Nisam muralist.“

And so he said, "But can't you think of anything?"

No on je nastavio "Ali možeš li nešto smisliti?“

So I said, "OK, what if we just took pictures of the kids in the school

Tako da sam rekao "OK, što ako jednostavno fotkamo djecu u školi

and just put them around the top of the thing,

i postavimo po cijelom tom dijelu iznad te police,

and maybe that could work."

možda bi to upalilo.“

And my wife is a photographer,

A moja supruga je fotografkinja,

and I said, "Dorothy, there's no budget,

pa sam joj rekao "Dorothy, nema budžeta,

can you come to this school in east New York, take these pictures?"

možeš li doći u školu u istočnom New Yorku, snimiti te fotografije?“

And she did,

I učinila je to,

and if you go in Richard's library,

tako da kada odete u Richardovu knjižnicu,

which is one of the first that opened,

a ona je jedna od prvih otvorenih,

it has this glorious frieze of, like, the heroes of the school,

ima tu veličanstvenu fresku tih, tih heroja škole,

oversized, looking down

uvećani, gledaju dolje

into the little dollhouse of the real library, right?

u malu kućicu za lutke koja je prava knjižnica, ne?

And the kids were great, hand-selected by the principals

I klinci su fantastični, osobno izabrani od strane ravnatelja

and the librarian.

i knjižničara.

It just kind of created this heroic atmosphere in this library,

Na neki način to je stvaralo herojsku atmosferu u toj knjižnici,

this very dignified setting below and the joy of the children above.

to vrlo ponosno uređenje niže i dječje veselje gore.

So naturally all the other librarians in the other schools see this

I naravno svi ostali knjižničari iz drugih škola su to vidjeli

and they said, well, we want murals too.

i rekli, pa i mi isto želimo murale.

And I'm like, OK.

A ja sam onak, OK.

So then I think, well, it can't be the same mural every time,

I mislim si, pa, ne može biti svaki put isti mural,

so Dorothy did another one, and then she did another one,

pa je Dorothy napravila još jedan, pa još jedan,

but then we needed more help,

i onda nam je zatrebalo pomoći,

so I called an illustrator I knew named Lynn Pauley,

pa sam pozvao poznanicu, ilustratoricu, zvanu Lynn Pauley,

and Lynn did these beautiful paintings of the kids.

i Lynn je napravila prekrasne slike djece.

Then I called a guy named Charles Wilkin at a place called Automatic Design.

Zatim sam nazvao Charlesa Wilkina iz Automatic Design-a.

He did these amazing collages.

On je pravio fantastične kolaže.

We had Rafael Esquer

Imali smo Rafaela Esquera

do these great silhouettes.

koji je pravio krasne siluete.

He would work with the kids, asking for words,

On bi radio s djecom, tražio ih riječi,

and then based on those prompts,

i bazirajući se na tim izvorima,

come up with this little, delirious kind of constellation

napravio je taj nekakav mali, delirični obilik zviježđa

of silhouettes of things that are in books.

silueta, stvari koje su u knjigama.

Peter Arkle interviewed the kids

Peter Arkle je intervjuirao djecu

and had them talk about their favorite books

o njihovim najdražim knjigama

and he put their testimony as a frieze up there.

i njihova kazivanja je stavio gore u fresku.

Stefan Sagmeister worked with Yuko Shimizu

Stefan Sagemeister je radio s Yuko Shimizu

and they did this amazing manga-style statement,

a oni su napravili prekrasnu pouku u stilu mange

"Everyone who is honest is interesting,"

„Svi iskreni su zanimljivi.“

that goes all the way around.

koja je univerzalna.

Christoph Niemann, brilliant illustrator,

Christoph Niemann, briljantni ilustrator,

did a whole series of things

je izradio čitavu seriju stvari,

where he embedded books into the faces and characters

u kojima je uvezao knjige s licima i likovima

and images and places that you find in the books.

i slikama i mjestima koja možete naći u knjigama.

And then even Maira Kalman

A tad je čak i Maira Kalman

did this amazing cryptic installation of objects and words

izradila prekrasne kriptične instalacije predmeta i riječi

that kind of go all around and will fascinate students

koje nekako idu svuda okolo i fascinirati će učenike

for as long as it's up there.

dokle god su tamo postavljene.

So this was really satisfying,

Dokle god su tamo postavljene,

and basically my role here was reading a series of dimensions to these artists,

i uglavnom moja uloga ovdje je bila čitanje niza dimenzija tim umjetnicima

and I would say,

i govorio bih

"Three feet by 15 feet, whatever you want.

"Tri stope puta 15 stopa, štogod želiš.

Let me know if you have any problem with that."

Javi mi ako bude kakvih problema s tim.“

And they would go and install these. It just was the greatest thing.

A oni bi krenuli i to instalirali. I to je bilo najbolje od svega.

But the greatest thing, actually, was --

A zapravo, od svega najbolja stvar je zapravo bila to da --

Every once in a while,

Svako malo

I'd get, like, an invitation in the mail made of construction paper,

u pošti bih dobio pozivnicu napravljenu od građevinskog papira,

and it would say, "You are invited to the opening of our new library."

u kojoj bi pisalo, "Pozvani ste na otvorenje naše nove knjižnice.“

So you'd go to the library, say, you'd go to PS10,

Tako da bih otišao u knjižnicu, recimo, odeš u PS10,

and you'd go inside.

i uđeš.

There'd be balloons, there'd be a student ambassador,

Bilo bi balona, predstavnik učenika,

there'd be speeches that were read,

držanje govora,

poetry that was written specifically for the opening,

poezija napisana posebno za otvorenje,

dignitaries would present people with certificates,

visoki uzvanici bi ljudima dodijeljivali certifikate

and the whole thing was just a delirious, fun party.

a cijela stvar je bila jedna delirična, zabavna zabava.

So I loved going to these things.

I volio sam ići.

I would stand there dressed like this, obviously not belonging,

Stajao bih tamo tako odjeven, vrlo očito ne pripadajući,

and someone would say, "What are you doing here, mister?"

a netko bi rekao "Što vi tu radite, gospodine?“

And I'd say, "Well, I'm part of the team that designed this place."

A ja bih odgovorio "Ja sam dio tima koji je dizajnirao ovo mjesto.“

And they'd said, "You do these shelves?"

A oni bi rekli "Vi ste izradili police?“

And I said, "No." "You took the pictures up above."

Odgovorio sam "Ne.“ "Vi ste snimili fotografije koje su gore.“

"No."

"Ne.“

"Well, what did you do?"

"No, što ste radili?“

"You know when you came in? The sign over the door?"

"Znate kad ste ušli? Onaj znak iznad vrata?“

"The sign that says library?"

"Znak na kojem piše knjižnica?“

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

"Yeah, I did that!"

"Da, ja sam to napravio!“

And then they'd sort of go, "OK. Nice work if you can get it."

A onda bi oni nekako izgovorili, "Dobro obavljen posao, ako ga skužite.“

So it was so satisfying going to these little openings

I bilo je tako zadovoljavajuće ići na ta mala otvorenja

despite the fact that I was kind of largely ignored or humiliated,

unatoč činjenici da sam većinom bio ignoriran ili ponižavan,

but it was actually fun going to the openings,

ali doista je bilo zabavno ići na otvorenja,

so I decided that I wanted to get the people in my office

pa sam odlučio da želim dovesti ljude u moj ured

who had worked on these projects, get the illustrators and photographers,

koji su radili na tim projektima, ilustratore i fotografe,

and I said, why don't we rent a van

i rekao sam, zašto ne unajmimo kombi

and drive around the five boroughs of New York

da se vozimo po pet četvrti New Yorka

and see how many we could hit at one time.

i da vidimo koliko možemo posjetiti odjednom.

And eventually there were going to be 60 of these libraries,

I eventualno bit će 60 tih knjižnica,

so we probably got to see maybe half a dozen in one long day.

a mi smo uspjeli vidjeti možda 6-7 u jednom dugom danu.

And the best thing of all was meeting these librarians

A najbolje od svega je bilo upoznavanje tih knjižničara

who kind of were running these, took possession of these places

koji su vodili ta mjesta, posjedovali ta mjesta

like their private stage upon which they were invited

kao da su njihova osobna pozornica na koju su pozvani

to mesmerize their students and bring the books to life,

kako bi opčinili njihove učenike i knjige vratili u život,

and it was just this really exciting experience

i to je doista bilo jedno uzbudljivo iskustvo

for all of us to actually see these things in action.

da vidimo te stvari u akciji.

So we spent a long day doing this

Tako da smo proveli dug dan radeći to,

and we were in the very last library.

i bili smo na zadnjoj knjižnici.

It was still winter, because it got dark early,

I još je bila zima, jer je rano pao mrak,

and the librarian says,

i knjižničarka reče

"I'm about to close down. So really nice having you here.

"Zatvorit ću. Jako je lijepo bilo imati vas ovdje.

Hey, wait a second, do you want to see how I turn off the lights?"

Hej, pričekajte trenutak, želite vidjeti kako gasim svjetla?“

I'm like, "OK."

A ja onako, "OK.“

And she said, "I have this special way that I do it."

I rekla je "Imam poseban način kako to radim.“

And then she showed me.

I onda mi je pokazala.

What she did was she turned out every light one by one by one by one,

Gasila ih je, svako svjetlo, jedno po jedno, jedno po jedno

and the last light she left on

a zadnje svjetlo koje je ostalo gorjeti

was the light that illuminated the kids' faces,

je ono koje je osvjetljivalo dječja lica,

and she said, "That's the last light I turn off every night,

i rekla je "To je zadnje svjetlo koje gasim svake večeri,

because I like to remind myself why I come to work."

jer se volim podsjetiti zašto dolazim na posao.“

So when I started this whole thing,

Dakle, kad sam počeo s ovom cijelom stvari,

remember, it was just about designing that logo

sjećate se, bilo je samo dizajnirati taj logo

and being clever, come up with a new name?

i biti bistar, smisliti novo ime?

The unintended consequence here,

Nenamjerna posljedica ovdje,

which I would like to take credit for

za koju ću si dati priznanje

and like to think I can think through the experience to that extent,

i volim misliti da duboko razmišljam o tom iskustvu do te mjere

but I can't.

ali ne mogu.

I was just focused on a foot ahead of me, as far as I could reach with my own hands.

Bio sam fokusiran na korak ispred, onoliko koliko sam mogao dosegnuti rukama.

Instead, way off in the distance

A umjesto toga, jako daleko,

was a librarian

je bila knjižničarka

who was going to find the chain of consequences

koja će otkriti lanac posljedica

that we had set in motion,

koje smo pokrenuli,

a source of inspiration

izvor inspiracije

so that she in this case could do her work really well.

tako da će ona, u ovom slučaju, svoj posao jako dobro obavljati.

40,000 kids a year are affected by these libraries.

Knjižnice utječu na 40.000 djece godišnje.

They've been happening for more than 10 years now,

Događaju se duže od 10 godina

so those librarians have kind of turned on a generation of children to books

tako da su ti knjižničari približili knjige generaciji djece

and so it's been a thrill to find out

i doista, bilo je prekrasno otkriti

that sometimes unintended consequences are the best consequences.

da su ponekad nenamjerne posljedice najbolje posljedice.

Thank you very much.

Hvala vam lijepa.
