On April 21, a very simple and spectacular chemical experience «Blessed bill» was held as part of the Laboratory Laboratory Laboratory. For this experiment, we needed: water, alcohol, lighter, tongs and, of course, the bill itself. We used old Soviet rubles, which have long been not in monetary circulation. The essence of this experience is as follows. When we set fire to the bill, alcohol begins to burn.
The temperature at which it burns is insufficient in order to evaporate the water with which the paper bill is impregnated. As a result, all alcohol burns out, the flame goes out, and a slightly wet bill remains intact.
Everyone who wants to become a participant in various experiments of the library laboratory is invited to the library!

The class was attended by children from kindergartens “Erketaiym” and “Duman”. The children studied the parts of the human body with the help of finger games. The final goal of these games is to teach children to independently show body parts using gestures and pronounce their names correctly in the Kazakh language. The children completed the tasks successfully.

On April 14th, in our library laboratory “Funny Science”, the experience «Juicy explosion» was conducted. For this experiment, we used ordinary balloons and lemon. Incredibly, with the help of lemon juice, the balls burst! The fact is that in the juice that we squeeze out of the lemon contains a special substance – lemonone, which is part of citrus. Lemonen has an amazing ability to dissolve rubber, and air balls are made of rubber. Therefore, our balls were torn.
At the end of fascinating experience, the guys shared their impressions, got acquainted with books from our fund about interesting experiments that can be carried out at home.

The librarians once again left with an absentee tour of the library to the city schools.
This time, the children of the schools 21 and 6 told about the activities of the children’s library, its services and interesting events. To get acquainted with the library’s book fund, employees brought the most readable books and new children’s literature in different languages.
Such trips are the opportunity to establish close partnerships with schools and attract readers to read.

A communicative training «Territory of useful Skills» was held in the library for teenagers. Entrepreneur, founder of the company «Natizhe» Yerlan Ashim acted as a coach-trainer.
During the training, E. Ashim explained to the children that self-development is very important for a person. In order to grow and change, a person needs to cope with his fears and weaknesses, work on himself daily. The training helped to control yourself, determine feelings, objectively assess your capabilities, in a word, fruitfully cooperate with yourself .
