September 15 is Library Day in Belarus
In our country there are more than two and a half thousand book depositories, the total fund exceeds 52 million copies of books, magazines, manuscripts and other sources of information, and the users are almost 3 million Belarusians. The main book depository of the country is the National Library, where the fourth part of the country's collections is concentrated. By the way, the date of the holiday, September 15, was chosen to coincide with the foundation day of the library.
The library is the center of culture. The reason is that we carry out our traditional work of collecting literary collections, popularizing books, holding exhibitions, holding creative meetings, but today we are also one of the most modern libraries. Today about 80% of our visits are virtual visits - this is reality. We have been very actively adapting to modern minds, and today people all over the world are visiting Belarus through the library.
Today the best librarians will be honored in the National Library, a meeting with veterans of librarianship will be held, and an exclusive book rarity will be given to the collections: the first edition of The Rod of Reign by Simeon of Polotsk printed in 1666.
