Smiltene Library Invites Residents to Take Online Quiz for Latvia's National Day
The Smiltene municipal library in Latvia is running an online quiz about Latvia, made up of ten questions, from 9 to 20 November. Three authors of correct answers will receive surprise prizes.
The Smiltene municipal library in northern Latvia is marking the anniversary of the proclamation of the Republic of Latvia with an online quiz open to anyone interested from 9 to 20 November. It is titled "One Latvia. Ten Stops. An Educational Journey for the National Holiday" and gives participants a chance to test their knowledge of the country and learn something new.
Ten questions about Latvia
The quiz consists of ten questions covering Latvian history, nature, culture and people's achievements. Participants can check how well they know national symbols and geography, as well as literature and music, traditional foods, sport and inventions. The library says some questions will be easy to recognise, while others will require more thought.
No prior knowledge is required. To help find answers, the library suggests using its collection of books, encyclopedias and other information sources.
Prizes and answers
Three authors of correct answers will receive surprise prizes from the library. The correct answers will be published on 23 November on the Smiltene library's Facebook account.
Those without their own device can complete the quiz using the library's equipment. They can visit the Adult Service Department at 27 Dakteru Street (on the first floor of the Smiltene Secondary School dormitory) or the Children's Service Department at 1 Gaujas Street, during library opening hours.
The library encourages people to celebrate the national holiday with curiosity and the chance to get to know Latvia a little better.
