A group of nine University Prep high school students and two faculty are preparing for a two-week exchange to Prienai, Lithuania in early April this year. On February 8, they visited the UW Library where Michael Biggins introduced them to the library's collection of Lithuanian books. Lithuanian Lecturer Aušra Valančiauskienė and Associate Professor Guntis Šmidchens discussed Lithuania's history, culture and current events, and assisted the students in their study of the region.
