Slavic New Year
Multnomah County Library celebrates Slavic New Year (Новый Год) every year. The word “Slavic” is added to the beginning of the phrase to identify countries with Russian-speaking communities and honor their traditions. Find out what the library’s Russian-speaking team is planning for this year’s celebration!
