Dear friends! We hasten to share the good news with you! A significant book event for our library has recently taken place!
Our friend, the first announcer of the Kazakh television Zulkhiya Mukanovna Zhumatova, who is 103 years old and lives in the city of Almaty, was presented by the library with a printed copy of the children’s book “Marattyn tandauy”. Back in 1956, she wrote poems for preschool children, one copy of the publication is carefully stored in the Abai RCL. The author of his book was not in the home library.
This is the story of a small work, but with a rich history, and we are glad to cooperate, which has been going on for more than two years.
