From year to year the library expands the range of its cooperation. In the anniversary year for the library, educational hours began to be held in the schools of the city of Karaganda in order to improve the image of the children’s library and increase the number of readers.
The first trip of librarians was made to the Special Boarding School 1 for children with visual impairments. The conversation about books and literary heroes did not want to end. The librarians told about the history of the creation of the library and the most interesting events of the Temple of Books. The guys got acquainted with new book editions, and were invited to visit the library in the near future. There were many who wanted to. We are looking forward to everyone!

On January 25-26, students of the 5th-6th grades of the Specialized School-Lyceum-Boarding School of Information Technologies visited the library. For children, librarians held a non-stop library “Come in! Look! Read!”
The librarians warmly welcomed the children. Future readers of the library listened with great interest to the story about how the library appeared, what halls operate, what books modern teenagers read. The new book exhibitions were of great interest to the children. After the tour, the schoolchildren enthusiastically took part in the interactive game “Ertegiler alemi”.

The art workshop “Free Style” continues its work. The girls, under the guidance of Ybraim J., created a headband with a crown using hot glue, colored beads, shiny felt and tulle.

As part of the literary club “Qauyrsyn qalam “, young poets and prose writers who are interested in modern literature gathered in the library.
Some guys have been members of the club for a long time, and some came for the first time. After getting acquainted, the guys shared their creative plans, discussed the club’s work plan for 2023.
Young authors read their new works, several of them were selected for the almanac ”
Qauyrsyn qalam “, which is planned to be published by the end of the year. Karaganda poet Sergey Rupchev took part in the creative meeting “Poems and I”. He told young people about his work, revealed some of the secrets of the poetic craft. Together with the children from secondary school 46, a teacher of the Russian language and literature, E.Yu. Shilaikes, also came. In her opinion, it is at the lessons of literature that there is an opportunity to notice and develop the gift of writing in children. Club members have big creative plans and ideas. We hope that all of them will come true.
