Hello everyone, everyone, everyone! Friends, guess what we did this morning?
Lesson plan:
Required documents
What do you need to register?
We took my passport and a couple of children's birth certificates with us. One is Sashino, she is 10 years old and she is in the fourth grade, and the other is Tyomino, he is 7 and he is just going to the first grade. The passport came in handy, but there is no certificate. Since the registration of readers under the age of 14 is made according to the document of the parent or other legal representative of the child. It is the responsibility of the adult to read the rules and ensure that the child follows them.
And from the age of 14, children can enroll in the library on their own using their own passport.
First Impressions
The children's library, which we came to, bears the name of the writer Mikhail Mikhailovich Prishvin, as was written at the entrance. Entered. The room was traditionally very quiet and not crowded.
At first, they were even a little confused, to the left of us there was a door with the inscription "Teenage Hall", on the right - "Computer Room", directly the door with the inscription "Childhood". Just like in a fairy tale, right? You will go to the left ... you will go to the right ... etc. It turns out that we had to go straight, which we learned from a very friendly librarian girl who hurried to help the newcomers.
From her, we learned that young readers are attached to one or another room. Children up to the fourth grade attend the "Childhood" hall, and from the fifth grade they are already transferred to the teenage one. So my Alexandra did not have long to hang out in the children's room. The books in the halls are selected according to the age of the readers.
How we were recorded
We went to the librarian's desk and asked for my passport. Checked registration. This is an important point. The fact is that without a residence permit you can only use the services of reading rooms. And in this case, books are not issued at home.
Then I filled out two forms (one for each kinder). I indicated my name, the name of the child, the date of his birth, my place of work and position, contact numbers. On the basis of these forms, subscriptions were established for children. In the same forms, I agreed with the rules of the library.
And we were told about the rules in great detail.
Library Rules
Books are issued for a fixed period. For two weeks. So that the reader does not forget when the book needs to be handed in, the date is written down on a control sheet, which is attached to the crust of the book.
If suddenly in two weeks you do not have time to read the book, then you can extend the period. Extension options:
- Come to the library.
- Call the library.
- Go to the library website and use the on-line renewal service.
- Go to the VKontakte library group and renew the book there.
Very convenient I think.
If you detain the book without warning, you will have to pay a fine of 10 kopecks per day. As the librarian said: "The amount is not large, but still unpleasant." Here I completely agree with her.
If suddenly something happens to a library book, it gets lost, for example, it accidentally flies into space or a dog eats it for dinner, then you will need to compensate for the damage. Buy a book no older than 3 years and bring it. And it doesn’t matter that the book that you didn’t save was 10-20 years old. You still need to bring a new one.
If suddenly there is no book in the library that you really need, you can make a reservation. That is, inform the librarian about your desire, and as soon as the book appears, they will call you back within three days.
They also warned that you need to behave civilly and quietly so as not to disturb other visitors.
How do we choose books?
I let the children choose books. Moreover, for very young readers, such as Artem, there are special bookcases in the amount of two pieces. He dealt with them.
Sasha went the other way, to the shelves with books for older children. The choice is large. Eyes, to be honest, run up. And you can take to read not only books, but also numerous children's magazines. And we love magazines!
For 30-40 minutes, the children chose, chose, but still could not choose. But in the end, they made up their minds. Each took one book. Alexandra liked the book by A. Krumer "A Boring Book for Growth", and Artemka liked "Ilya Muromets and the Nightingale the Robber".
Before going to arrange books, we also decided to go to the reading room, which is called the “Hall of Comfortable Reading”. It was really comfortable and cozy there. There are chairs, tables. Take a book and sit down, read calmly. Some books can be borrowed from the reading room, but not all. For example, very expensive books worth more than 500 rubles are not given at home, they can only be read on the spot.
Well, then we went to draw up books. The girl wrote down their names in the subscriptions and put down the dates of return on the control sheets.
And that's it! We could be free!
Biblio events
It was also very nice to know that the library hosts numerous events. For example, every Thursday classes are held by the DoMiSolki art group. Children there sing and dance for themselves, in general, they have fun. By the way, the classes are free.
The first and fourth Sundays of the month hold meetings called "Reading a book - watching a movie." For example, have you watched a movie about Paddington Bear? It was still played in theaters. It turns out that it was based on the books by Michael Bond about this bear cub.
Also in the (now our) library, various master classes are held. For example, at the end of March there was a master class on the book by A. Vvedensky "Meow", it was called "The most feline master class." If we knew about it, we would definitely go. Because we love crafting. By the way, have you seen our and?
There are also meetings with writers, interactive game programs, "Knizhkin's Name Day" and such universal holidays as March 8 or Health Day are celebrated.
Great! There is something to do for both librarians and young readers. The main thing is to have a desire.
We do not regret that we went, that we signed up. And we advise you. The library is interesting!
It is also hard not to notice another huge plus of libraries. Books are expensive these days, as are magazines. And there take it, read it, and everything is free. Solid savings!
Boys and girls, as well as their parents, do you want to see funny stories? Found the release of the newsreel "Yeralash" about the library. Let's see?
Are your children enrolled in the library? Maybe we are the only ones who have been dragging this out for so long? We look forward to your comments and thank you in advance for them)
And not so long ago we visited the planet of robots, it is described in detail.
All the best!

The Russian State Library is the largest public library in the country and one of the largest in the world. It will take 79 years just to scroll through the publications stored here for a minute, and this is without breaks for sleep, lunch and other needs. Since 1862, all publications published in Russian have been sent to the library. Despite the fact that since 1992 the official name of the institution has been the "Russian State Library", many still call it the Lenin Library. This name can still be seen on the facade of the building.

History of the library. Lenin
The library was founded in 1862, the funds were replenished both at the expense of the libraries of St. Petersburg, and through the efforts of Muscovites who donated valuable manuscripts and publications. Since 1921, the library has become a national book depository. Three years later, the institution was given the name of Lenin, by which it is widely known to this day.
The construction of the new library building, where it is located to this day, began in 1924. The authors of the project are Vladimir Gelfreikh and Vladimir Shchuko. This is a magnificent example of Stalinist Empire architecture. The building with its numerous columns remotely resembles ancient Roman temples; it is a very large-scale and beautiful building, a real palace. A number of buildings were completed much later, in 1958.
Monument to Dostoevsky near the library. Lenin
In 1997, a monument to Fyodor Dostoevsky was erected near the library, the sculpture was created by Alexander Rukavishnikov. The monument does not look majestic. The writer is depicted sitting, slightly hunched over, his face is sad and thoughtful.
