also donated by many more people from their own libraries, while some other donated other things as well, such as black and white sketches of landmarks on the island.
John Ratekin, an American artist who moved in Mykonos in 1966, donated also some of the library books. Also included was poetry, some of which was written by John Ratekin on his walls. He contributed immensely to the island, since he visualized its modernization and created the first “Tourist Guide to Mykonos”, which he also included in his art work. The library includes a lot of his poetry, sketches and paintings and every visitor must take time to view Mykonos through his perspective.
As of now, with the advent of modernity, the municipal library are no longer operational. But they continue to be a symbol of Mykonos’s rich virile past. Being hundred of years old, most of the municipal library have been thoroughly renovated and some have even been converted into museums, the most famous being the Bonis Windmill.
Providing interesting insights into life of Mykonos, all the works displayed in the library are unique and extremely interesting. A visit to this wonderful library is worth your time and effort.
