The library is the leader among the libraries of the Pskov region, an active participant and winner of regional and regional competitions, the initiator of holding regional, regional and all-Russian events on its base. The opening of the model library is the first stage of a great work on the creation of a multifunctional cultural institution.

MODEL LIBRARIES From a floppy disk to a tablet.

Analysis of the activities of model libraries in the Pskov region in 2015

On 01.01. 2016 in the Pskov region, there are 124 model libraries. In 2015, 14 rural libraries acquired the status of model libraries in the Pskov region.

Voronin MBU "Gdov Central District Library"; Rubilovsky rural model library-branch of MBUK "Ostrovskaya Central District Library".

Having received the status of model libraries, libraries have become multifunctional, information-cultural, educational and educational centers. With the opening of the legal information center, the library has become more capable of meeting the growing needs of users. Speaking of model libraries, we can say that each of them differs in content from one another: resources, priority areas of work, design, etc. But by and large they are engaged in one big important thing aimed at strengthening ties, traditions and innovations, providing access to information and knowledge, developing and improving librarianship. A few examples. For the first time in 2015, the model libraries of the Velikoluksky district developed virtual local history tourist routes: "Famous countrymen" (Kupuysky KB), "Temples of the Velikoluksky district" (CRH), "My Borki" (Borkovsky KB), "Military burial places" (Plaksinsky KB) , "My father's land will not be repeated in anything" (Porechensky BDTs). Model Libraries are also the Center for Public Access to Socially Important Information.

All model libraries have become centers for teaching the population how to work with information technologies: educational groups of pensioners, the unemployed, and children are being created. An innovation in 2015 in the Velikoluksky District were virtual exhibitions: “Everything starts here, in my native land ...” (local history literature) and “Books of Victory”, as well as video clips based on photographic materials: “The Immortal Regiment” of the Velikoluksky District” and “Relay Race of Memory : Presentation of commemorative medals "70 years of Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945", which are posted on the POUNB library portal.

The work of model libraries of the Kunyinsky district in 2015 under the program "We are proud that we are from Pskov!" associated with the solution of a set of tasks to preserve and maintain local cultural traditions, familiarize members of the local community with cultural heritage, and provide opportunities for creative development. At the events, modern equipment is fully used - TV, video camera, camera, music center. This modern equipment improves the quality of mass events and the possibility of introducing new forms - the collection of local history video materials, the organization of virtual exhibitions, the demonstration of video reviews, presentations. Visiting the library for readers has become much more interesting.

What has changed with the assignment of the status of a model in the Nevelsk region? Much has changed in libraries: libraries have been equipped with modern computer and office equipment, with Internet access. In 2015, using Internet resources in the Nevelsk district, the following events were held: watching video slides with comments: “The Rocket and Space Age”, “Patterns and ornaments on dishes”. Electronic quizzes: "Space far and near", "Symbolics of the countries of the world", "Quiz based on the works of N. Nosov", etc.

Librarians of rural model libraries were given the opportunity to participate in webinars held by POUNB, learn about innovations, interesting forms of work, about the requirements for library work in the new conditions. For example, in Novosokolnichesky district in 2015 survey for users of rural libraries "Assessment of the quality of services." The goal is to find out to what extent rural institutions ensure the quality of library services. The results of the survey showed that model libraries provide a higher level of service. As the study showed, 54.4% of readers use the Internet for study, for work, in order to obtain useful information. An important conclusion of the survey can be considered: the demand for a new level library and the assessment of significant transformations. The Public Council at the MBU KDK, using the analysis of questionnaires and other indicators, formed a rating of the work of rural libraries: in 1st place are the Zakharinskaya and Nasvinskaya model libraries. Model libraries have changed significantly: the book fund has been updated, the interior of the libraries has changed. Libraries provide villagers with access to the Internet. Library readers use the legal bases "NTC-System" and "Consultant +".

Since the opening of model libraries, librarians have new directions in their work. Librarians of rural model libraries - branches took an active part and shared their experience in the Master class in the Ostrovskaya central district library on the topic: "Libraries and the Internet space: prospects, opportunities and reality" for librarians of the Pskov region. Dokhtor Nina Vasilievna, a librarian of the Rubilovsky rural model library-branch, presented a presentation about the people of the village "My native land, my village." And then the librarians talked about interesting events held in libraries, about changes in their libraries since connecting to the Internet, about planned events for the near future, about Internet resources of particular interest to the library, about the achievements they are proud of.

The department for coordinating the activities of the libraries of the region of the Pskov Regional Universal Scientific Library conducted research “Methodological support of rural libraries”. The purpose of the study was to find out to what extent rural librarians need methodological assistance / methodological support from the district / regional level. One of the questions is related to whether rural librarians are familiar with online electronic resources posted on the website of the Pskov Regional Universal Scientific Library, in particular. And answers were received that: Electronic library of dissertations (36 people - 31.8%); Polpred database. Com (30 people - 26.5%); the State system of legal information www.pravo.gov.ru (32 people - 28.3%); Legal reference system "Garant" (45 people - 39.8%); Legal reference system "Consultant Plus" (84 people - 74.3%); Electronic library of the publishing house "Grebennikov" (6 people - 5.3%); Electronic library system of the publishing house "Lan" (11 people - 9.7%); %).

Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that rural librarians use information resources in their work: more than 80.0% of respondents have computer skills; about the same number (77.8%) have an idea about the electronic resources of the Pskov Regional Universal Scientific Library (local history catalog "Pskoviana", a consolidated electronic catalog of libraries in the Pskov region, etc.). Librarians visit the website of the Pskov Regional Universal Scientific Library (68.1%), the library portal of the Pskov Region (84.0%), the blog "Methodological Service of the Pskov OUNB" (72.5%).

General conclusion: rural libraries need methodological support, both from the district level and from the regional methodological service. In 2016, it is planned to open 17 rural model libraries in 13 districts of the region.

Main tasks for 2016:

Development of rural libraries, connection to the Internet, holding a conference on the 10th anniversary of the creation of model libraries (on the basis of the Bulyninskaya rural model library of the Velikoluksky district).

The modernization of libraries is a special milestone in the development of librarianship in Russia. It made it possible to introduce automated processes in the information and bibliographic service of readers, in the accounting and processing of documents, to create electronic catalogs, specialized bibliographic and factual databases, and electronic libraries. Thanks to the modernization, it became possible to create model libraries.

2014 marks 12 years since the start of the federal project, the purpose of which is to create model libraries in the countryside, and, as a result, improve the quality of library services for rural residents.

The collection presents the experience of rural model libraries of Velikoluksky, Gdovsky, Loknyansky, Novorzhevsky and Pechora districts, analysis of the survey "Efficiency of the Interlibrary Loan Service (ILO) and Electronic Document Delivery (EDD)". There is a list of books and periodicals about the work of libraries in Russia, publications about the model libraries of the Pskov region. In the appendix - Regulations on the procedure for creating model libraries, a list of model libraries in the Pskov region, Pskov library groups on Vkontakte, scenarios for opening model libraries.

In order to improve the activities of the IBA and EDD service, the department of outpatient services for the population of the region conducted a survey of specialists and users of model libraries in the Pskov region. The second quarter of 2014 was chosen as the time period. 41 model libraries from 18 districts of the region took part in the survey. To study the situation, two questionnaires were proposed: for the heads of model libraries and users. Loknyansky and Pustoshkinsky districts were not polled among readers. Such districts as: Novorzhevsky, Novosokolnichesky, Pskov, Pytalovsky, Sebezhsky, Usvyatsky did not take part at all. In the course of studying the materials received, the question arose about the objectivity and reliability of the answers. Out of 72 model libraries in the Pskov region, in the 2nd quarter of 2014, 27 (52%) used the services of the ILA. During the survey, several questions were asked with the possibility of choosing the answer that best matches the user's opinion. The survey involved 671 respondents from 39 model libraries in 15 districts of the region. The respondents' answers indicate that only 51% of respondents use or used the possibilities of the IBA. (Did not know about this service 4%). During the second quarter of 2014, more than 500 book publications on various topics were delivered to KIBO readers on orders. Since 2014, KIBO specialists have been teaching readers how to use the Consolidated Electronic Catalogue. Readers choose their own publications. In the absence of one or another book at the moment, IBA specialists offer others to replace it, or, if the book is in hand, they put readers on the waiting list. It can be concluded that, in general, the adult socially active working population took part in the survey, but the fact that only 51% of respondents use the IBA service, and even less EDD (21%), gives rise to specific actions.

Vasiliev, Bulyninskaya model library, Peresleginskaya model library, Porechenskaya model library, Shelkovskaya model library).

Pechorsky district((Izborsk branch library, Lavrovskaya branch library, Central District Library, Kirshi branch library, Novoizborsk branch library).

For this, the following documents have been developed: Regulations on the audit of the compliance of the model library with the requirements of the “Model Standard for the Activities of the Municipal Library of the Pskov Region”, “Auditor's Memo”, “Audit Protocol”. Auditing the activities of model libraries once again proved the demand for model libraries in the countryside.

Suggestions for improving the work of model libraries.

- annual updating of book collections and electronic resources of model libraries,

- acquisition of children's literature in rural libraries-branches,

- use of the fund of electronic resources in the general lending of the library,

- Accounting for electronic publications and donations from readers.

Over the past year, positive trends in the development of model libraries can be noted:

- improving the material and technical base, equipping libraries with modern computer and office equipment, communication facilities, which allows them to actively develop as multifunctional, cultural, educational and information institutions;

- library visitors have an equal opportunity to use and master the world's information resources;

- there was an increase in the statistical indicators of the work of libraries: visits and lending, which indicates a positive perception of innovations in libraries, etc.

The experience of model rural libraries shows that the skillful use of new information technologies makes it possible to create a favorable social climate, improve one's image in all structures of the local community. A rural model library is the format of organizing library services that corresponds to the current level of development of society and improves the quality of life of the population. Model libraries are the Center for public access to socially significant information.

Model libraries, providing the population with new information and cultural opportunities, form new needs, media and information literacy of users, provide access to world information resources, and promote reading.

Professional retraining and methodological support Organization of annual seminars in Moscow for participants in the Model Rural Libraries project of the Federal Target Program "Culture of Russia"

The model of a modern public library that meets the requirements of the information society and meets the needs of today's users, to which every library should aspire, is presented in the "Model Standard for Public Libraries", approved in May 2001 at the VI Annual Conference of the Russian Library Association. In the new version of the document, adopted at the XIII Annual Conference of the Russian Library Association (Ulyanovsk, 2008), the emphasis is shifted to the modernization of library services based on the introduction of information technology into library practice.

In the Pskov region, a "Model Standard for the Activities of the Municipal Library of the Pskov Region" has been developed.
The creation of model libraries in the Russian Federation began with the implementation of the all-Russian project "Creation of model public in the countryside" of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, the Interregional Association of Business Libraries and the public organization "Open Russia".
As part of the federal target program "Culture of Russia (2006-2010)", 70 model rural libraries have been created to date.
In our region, the modernization of public libraries began in 2006, when, with the support of the Interregional Association of Business Libraries, rural computer libraries were created in Velikoluksky and Pechora regions. Within the framework of the federal target program “Culture of Russia”, a model reading room in the central regional library and the Polyanskaya model library were opened in the Pushkinogorsk region. Projects for the modernization of rural libraries are being developed in the Gdovsky, Ostrovsky, Pskov, Sebezhsky and other districts of the region.
The model public library is a modern universal information and cultural institution capable of effectively performing information, educational, cultural and educational functions. To solve this problem, it is necessary to increase and diversify library collections, including, in addition to printed publications, electronic and audiovisual products. It is necessary to carry out a radical technical re-equipment of the libraries themselves and train librarians to work with modern information technologies
The main goal is to change the quality of life of rural residents, develop new intellectual needs in them by providing high-quality information and legal services and thus help the villagers adapt to modern living conditions, help them find their niche in the labor market. Without exaggeration, it can be noted that this is a serious social program to combat poverty, protect a person who is limited in his ability to acquire knowledge, and enter new labor markets, including intellectual ones.
Practice has shown that a model library can be successfully created only under the following conditions:
availability of creative workers in the staff;
a strong professional community in the area;
sustainable traditions of library support by local governments;
meeting the standards of premises and library equipment;
developed rural infrastructure.

The concept of "model library" has a broad meaning. First of all, this is the desire to approach and comply with the international model standard for the activities of a public library. All work, information resources, technology are being rebuilt. New functions are being worked out in the model library: automated processing of information, provision of resources to users on electronic media.
Catalogs of leading libraries and resources of information centers in Russia, Europe and America become available to rural residents. Everyone can look at any legislative act, presidential decrees, government decrees, heads of district and rural administrations. Those who wish will be taught how to search for information on the Internet and databases, work with electronic encyclopedias and reference books, use e-mail, and scan necessary documents.
As a result, each of the model libraries will have the opportunity to work as a multifunctional cultural institution that provides new forms of information services - as a center for municipal and legal information, a center for education and self-education, social and everyday information, a cultural and leisure center.

These recommendations contain questions on the creation of a model library in a municipality: the conditions for opening, the procedure for creating, the minimum requirements for technical equipment and information resources, personnel and services of a model library. The appendices give advice on organizing the presentation of the model library and the proposals of the NF "Pushkin Library" on the acquisition of library collections for 2008.

A model library is a library that has an optimal standard set of material and information resources, which is the minimum necessary for the implementation of high-quality library and information services for the population. It is created with the aim of providing residents of municipalities with unlimited access to information, a qualitative increase in the level of library services for the population.
The main principles that determine the content of the activity of the model library are:

• providing all citizens with equal access to information;
• availability of various types of services;
• ensuring freedom of reading;
• providing library documents and information to all categories of the population in accordance with their needs;
• access to knowledge and information in close proximity to the place of residence.

Modernization of the rural library includes the following components:
Organization of a modern comfortable environment (overhaul of the premises);
Improvement of the adjacent territory;
Updating the main core of the book fund, based on the norms of the regional model standard;
Current acquisition of the fund on all types of media;
Subscription to periodicals;
Automation of library processes;
Access to information resources of the Internet and regional libraries;
Training of personnel in practical skills of using new technologies in library and information services for users.

Choosing a base for creating model libraries.

A rural settlement in which a model library can be created must meet the following requirements:
Approximately from 0.5 to 1.5 thousand people should live in a settlement.
Expanded social structure: secondary school, kindergarten, post office, medical assistant's station, etc.
Availability of a developed system of transport communications between the district center and the rural settlement
The principle of accessibility of library services to the population is implemented by placing a model library, taking into account the maximum spatial accessibility (the distance from the library to the place of residence of the population served should not exceed 3 km or 20 minutes of travel), as well as the convenience of its location (at the intersection of pedestrian routes, near transport links) .
The library should be located in a special, separate building, or a block extension to a residential or public building, or in a specially adapted room of a residential or public building.
The area of ​​the library premises should be sufficient to accommodate technical equipment and information materials on separate tables and shelves, at least 70-100 square meters. m.
The library must be provided with fire protection equipment (1 fire extinguisher per 50 sq.m. of the floor, but not less than 1 for each room, fire alarm).
It is also necessary to achieve a sustainable power supply of 220 V / 50 Hz and a well-functioning system for post-accident restoration of power supply and reliable space heating for the entire heating period to maintain the temperature for the normal operation of technical facilities.
The library must have at least one telephone number.
Ensuring the safety of equipment and funds is achieved by installing bars on the windows, metal doors with reliable locks, alarms directly in the library or on the control panel of the security structure.
The necessary physical components of the building (room) of the model library should be:

• attractive interior and exterior design;
• maintenance during operation of a state that complies with established standards (lighting, temperature control, fire safety, security);
• provision of various areas of library activities (receipts and movements of documents, access to the library, ways of moving users and staff).

The daily mode of operation of a model public library is established taking into account the needs of local residents and the intensity of its visits and should not completely coincide with the working hours of the main part of the population.

Requirements for staff: the presence of two full-time positions, the chief library manager (head), who is generally responsible for the library and simultaneously conducts constant training courses in computer technology for all categories of village residents. The second person of the library is the administrator, who implements the functions of e-mail service, registers and controls access to the Internet of readers, and at the same time performs traditional library services. Basic professional training of library staff should be sufficient to master the work with technical means and modern information resources.

Creation and financing of the model library.
Model libraries are created on the basis of municipal libraries by decision of the local government. Model libraries are financed by the municipal authorities, who invest in: renovation, repair of the building, ensuring the safety and security of funds and equipment; formation and further development of information resources: telephone installation, connection of the library to the Internet, acquisition of library collections on all types of media; acquisition of licensed software; acquisition of video-audio equipment, duplicating equipment; organization of the library space (creation of a comfortable environment for employees and users): purchase of furniture and equipment, design items, etc.
They allocate funds for training personnel in working with a computer, the methodology for performing "virtual reference", the formation and dissemination of information resources.

Information resources of the model library.
The policy of forming the fund of a model library is focused on the strategy of access to all information available in the library and information space of Russia, and not only to its own resources.
The model public library provides access to a wide range of documents in a variety of formats (books, periodicals, audio-video documents, electronic documents, CD-ROMs, databases, including Internet databases, voiced books, etc.), presented in sufficient quantity.
The main characteristics of the model public library collection are:

• reasonable amount;
• information content;
• constant renewal.

The stocking profile of a model public library takes into account the real needs of the local community. The fund is based on modern encyclopedias, dictionaries, reference books, new editions of domestic and foreign classics, children's literature, modern publications on history, psychology, philosophy, economics, law, art, technology and agriculture, medicine, and leisure activities.
The book fund of the model library should be cleared of obsolete and dilapidated literature, especially in its branch part.
A one-time (initial) acquisition of new documents should be at least 10% of the existing fund.
In order to update the content of the collection of a model public library, it is necessary to maintain its renewal at a level of at least 5% of the total volume of the fund per year, or at the rate of 250 books per 1000 inhabitants.
Subscription to periodicals and continuing publications - at least 10-16 newspapers and magazines.
The formation of the fund of video publications is carried out by video films on educational topics, screen adaptations of works of domestic and foreign classics, cartoons, recordings of the best domestic theatrical productions.

universal and industry-specific multimedia encyclopedias;
multimedia publications on domestic and foreign art, famous museums in Russia and foreign countries;
e-books with collected works of classics of domestic and foreign literature;
e-books with albums of famous Russian and foreign artists
Legal information centers are being opened in model libraries to serve the public with legal information. Information and legal systems should be installed in the library to ensure public access to legal information.

Requirements for minimum technical equipment and equipment

Technical equipment includes:
2 sets of computer equipment;
1 copier;
1 scanner;

Model Library Services

The model library provides citizens with the most complete set of services that should be accessible and convenient for all groups and categories of users.
The model library has the ability to offer users various types and purposes of services, including documentary, reference and bibliographic, informational, educational, communicative, leisure, service.
The model village library chooses the specialization of its activities independently, taking into account the needs of the village residents. It can be an information and legal or information and leisure center, an information and national center, a library-museum, etc.
The obligatory free services of the model library include:

• providing information on the availability of a specific document in the funds;
• obtaining complete information about the composition of the fund through the catalog system and other forms of library information;
• provision of consulting assistance in the search and selection of sources of information;
• providing information about the possibilities of satisfying the request using other libraries;
• issuance of documents from the library fund for temporary use in accordance with the Rules for using the library;

The Model Library provides a wide range of reference and information services, including:

• compiling thematic bibliographic lists and manuals, issuing address and factual information, including by phone and e-mail;
• preparation and provision of problem-analytical reviews, information-analytical and thematic packages;
• consulting services on various issues.

The model library uses the latest information technologies to provide users with access to corporate and global information networks, expanding the range of services and serving users in local and remote access.
Having become a model, the rural library becomes a creative laboratory for further training of regional librarians and heads of rural administrations on its basis.
Rural model libraries should be seen as an integral part of the country's overall library system. Its first and main characteristic is its integration into Internet technologies. Model libraries created in the same organizational and technological format have their own identity, as a rule, they differ in their content, style, and design, which helps them maintain a high status in the local community. A model library is not just a change of signage and interior: it is a reorientation of the library's activities to the interests of the local community, completely new areas of work that qualitatively change the life of the rural population, their psychology.

Dramatic changes are possible within the standard budget for repairs

The KIDZ design team turned the library to them. N.V. Gogol into one of the most fashionable urban spaces and has since transformed more than one St. Petersburg library. It was they who, on the portal of the New Type Library, visualized the ideas and principles laid down in the “Model Standard for the Activities of a Public Library”.

How to transform book storages into actual social spaces? Designers shared their experience.

Ideology determines design

When we were offered to transform Gogol's library, we asked ourselves the question: “What is a library? What is she now? Who does she work for? It is from the answers to these questions that depends on what the structure and design of the space will be.

The ideology of space is changing. The Model Standard states that the public library becomes a center of social activity and communication. The book itself loses its value as a type of value, and the library is reorganized from the book storage (although one of the main functions of the library is to continue to store books as a value) and acquires a social function: holding events and building communication. It is from the format of events, when people gather and interact with each other through various types of activity, that the concept of space is also repelled. A person should be comfortable ideologically, visually and at the level of sensations.

Focus on the event

At the top of the new website of the Gogol Library, the phrase “propose an event” attracts attention. This is an iconic detail. The user himself can offer to hold a lesson or a meeting in the library and, most likely, he will not be refused. This approach, of course, is reflected in the structuring and design of space. In fact, it is necessary to give an opportunity to organize a cultural event in a small area, without knowing in advance what exactly the visitors can offer. This means that in 10–15 minutes, without the use of brute male force, a space that was adapted, for example, for 50 people to read, should turn into an auditorium for 100 people. How to do it? And just move the racks on wheels, make room, arrange chairs - that's it, the lecture is on! After an hour and a half, it ended and the space also easily takes on its former form.

Make space mobile

Mobility is achieved through multifunctional furniture, which at the same time serves as a space delimiter. We love versatility. For example, we have objects that are at the same time a bookcase, a place to sit and relax, and separate zones of different activities. One piece of furniture solves several problems: functional, spatial and design. In addition, most of the furniture - on wheels, it can be easily and quickly moved.

Make space transparent. Literally

In the Gogol library, the entrance area is decorated not with a heavy massive door, but with the help of large glass surfaces. Full-wall windows and glass doors symbolize the openness of the library. Passers-by see what is happening inside, that is, the functionality of the room is clear from the outside. Such “transparency” is not always perceived positively by the staff, because it obliges and even requires changes in working methods.

However, if all libraries were decorated with large windows, it would help them a lot. A person who did not plan to come to the library, but simply passed by, could see that something alive was going on there. That alone might motivate him to come in. The librarian, who greets visitors and tells what is happening and where, makes it clear that they are expected here. Such ethical aspects are no less important than design techniques.

Librarian - activity facilitator

The new library format does not serve books in terms of value, but people. If earlier the librarian performed the technical functions of issuing a subscription, now he becomes a facilitator of activities in the library environment. One of the goals of the New Type Library project is to create a space that would eloquently declare that it can become a platform for almost any event. We think in terms of events - in this format it is most convenient for people to interact. Each visitor can come up with the whole idea, so the librarian should be open to any idea and build communication with active users. Plans for the future - to form a caring community around the library and its staff. It must be said that the space in its development is ahead of the community. Even in St. Petersburg, the amount of reorganized space is now a level higher than the number of people who can professionally serve it.

Let the space be flexible

Any rigid functions run the risk of dying off over time, so it is necessary to lay the ability to change in space. For example, the art hall was originally planned by us as a space for musical evenings and exhibitions. But over time, he especially fell in love with the children who began to come here after school. As a result, the art hall expanded its functionality. In the daytime, children's activities are held here: lessons and master classes. And it is right: the space must be flexible and responsive to the real needs of users. In addition, we are against the division into children's and adult libraries. A parent can come with a child and leave it to a teacher for a couple of hours: both will spend time with benefit.

From traditional division to open floor plan

The library has always been created as a book depository where you can come and borrow a book. Related to this is the traditional layout: a subscription, a reading room, a storage for books, as well as many shelves and narrow aisles between them. Time has shifted priorities: we expect that a person, having come to the library, will stay here, not only to work, but also to communicate, attend events. That's why the need to divide the space in the old way has disappeared. All space is for people, there are practically no closed areas, all books are in the public domain. Gogol's library has a closed storeroom of unpopular literature, but this is a very small room.

Of course, visitors have different goals: someone came for communication, and someone needs to concentrate on work. Therefore, we divide a large space into smaller zones, including through mobile furniture. Oddly enough, in order to retire and feel protected, there is no need to hide behind a concrete wall, just the shelving on the left is enough. Yes, it is impossible to create an ideal space, especially in such a limited area. Therefore, a network of city libraries is needed: if you feel uncomfortable in one of them, you can go to another, solved in a different style.

Every library has its own face

Each of the libraries should have its own conceptual solution: one can specialize in events and lectures, another - in musical evenings and have a recording studio, the third one can conduct master classes and have its own workshop. It's not even so much about a network of libraries, but about a network of urban spaces, whether they are commercial or non-commercial. The partnership of the library with commercial partners is very important. The idea is to bring the local community together. People can gather in the library, among other things, in order to solve pressing problems (for example, the issue of parking or landscaping the yard). The library becomes an activating space and influences what happens in the city, its cultural, social and physical landscape. The goal is this.

Standard renovation budget

Many people think that a cool, trendy environment is either foreign or very expensive, but it is not. The furniture for the Gogol library was designed by us and assembled at the Ryazan factory. Good spatial solutions are not always expensive. No space budget! We fit into the amount allocated for a standard renovation for a district (not even a city!) library. A good designer will always be able to find an effective solution for a specific problem, which will require minimal costs.

It turned out to be difficult to convince the contractors to meet us and produce custom-made furniture according to our sketches. Suppliers have developed a standard line over the decades, which they sell to libraries, and see no reason to change anything. It would be more convenient for us, designers, to cooperate with small workshops that can easily make changes to the technological process, unlike large manufacturers. But a rigid system of tenders prevents them from entering this market.

Fit the library into the urban context

What exactly to create in the library depends on where it is located and what residents need. For example, a recording studio was created in one of the St. Petersburg libraries, following the example of Finnish colleagues. The project is not bad, but artificial, because there is no real need for this studio. While visitors to the library of Finland, with which they took an example, really needed such a studio, a sociological study was carried out. Next to it is a music school and residents need a platform for recording, rehearsing and performing.

You cannot create a library in a vacuum, in isolation from what already exists. It is necessary that the library supports the already established activities, then people will come themselves. The Gogol library is a pilot site, the context was not fully taken into account there, its goal was different - to loudly declare itself and the changes taking place in the library world. But working on the Rzhev Library, we “tune” it to the surrounding space. For example, a theater studio has existed there for many years and people want to keep it, so the project includes an auditorium. It is important to pay attention to what is around. If there are a number of institutions that already perform a certain function, the library should abandon it so as not to duplicate each other.
