It was planned to place this accent in front of the central bookshop in Vilniaus Street. The producer is Šiauliai House Construction Company.
A larger share of books published in Soviet times was ideological writings, so-called flavourless water. The pompous slogan (“The book – the source of knowledge”) sounded very ironic during the socialist order. The intelligentsia used to say about such publications: “Those writers only pour water ...”. To turn “water pouring” into an accent, the composition was supplemented with a drinking fountain.
