Join Jeff Klapes, known as ‘The Traveling Librarian', for an armchair traveler’s journey to beautiful Malta.
Join Jeff Klapes, known as 'The Traveling Librarian', for an exploration of Malta, the tiny island nation in the Mediterranean off the south coast of Sicily, along with its smaller companion island Gozo. Malta has a long and fascinating history with influences from many different occupiers, and is a mix of African, Italian, British, and other cultures. In addition to historic villages and ancient neolithic temples, Malta has beautiful scenery, especially its craggy coastline and clear blue water. Jeff is the recently retired Head of Reference Services at the Lucius Beebe Memorial Library in Wakefield, Massachusetts, and an avid traveler and photographer.
