Winter holidays continue… And the library finds new friends again. Children of the 6th grade of lyceum №66 visited the library for the first time. For them, the world of books was very tempting. There were joyful exclamations at the sight of new books, schoolchildren were surprised by the variety of book publications and the comfort of the library. Before becoming a reader of the library, the children got acquainted with its history, rules of use, halls and book stock. They were told about library services and the activities of circles and clubs, they were reminded of the rules of conduct and the rules for handling a book.
At the end of their acquaintance with the temple of books, the children had an interactive game “A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it” on the Kahoot platform.

This year, within the framework of the republican campaign “One country – one book”, Kazakhstanis are offered to get acquainted with the work of the famous playwright and writer Tolen Abdikov.
