The project is the best model library. Model Libraries

First of all , the activity of the model library is close tointernational standards adopted by IFLA (International Federation of Library Associations, established under the auspices of UNESCO) and the “Model Standard for Public Library Activities” developed by the Russian Library Association. They define the library as a public information center that provides residents with free and equal access to information in the field of education, culture, art, law, domestic and global library resources. Such a library uses traditional paper and the latest information technologies, its resources include a wide range of documents: books, audio-video cassettes, periodicals, CDs and e-books, databases, Internet resources. In addition, against the general background of libraries that traditionally provide only printed documents, it is considered as a benchmark (model) for the activities of other public libraries.

It is known that not a single library is able to collect and store all the information within its walls, especially a rural one. But digitized information is economical in storage and extremely capacious in content. Network technologies being introduced in rural libraries allow remote use of information collected by larger and more authoritative information centers. Children of the Chuvash hinterland already today have the opportunity to make virtual tours of the halls of the Hermitage, the Louvre, a villager can look at any legislative act, presidential decrees, government decrees, heads of district and village administrations, can write a letter and send it by e-mail, scan the necessary documents, request literature from Russian libraries.

In the process of modernization, all work, information resources of libraries, technologies are rebuilt, premises are reconstructed. Rural twin libraries, as a rule, duplicating each other, define their social niche and functions in a new way. Each of the model libraries has its own "zest": specialized local history and environmental libraries have opened, libraries - centers of education, leisure, family reading. They make their own contribution to the development of a new socio-cultural situation in the region, become the organizers of events that are generally significant for the local community, and contribute to the development of the information culture of the population. Today in the library you can learn how to use a computer, electronic documents, Internet resources. Elderly people are especially surprised when they are seated at a computer and after a while they search the databases themselves. In model libraries, children's computer clubs, youth excursion and local history services are being created, and information support is being provided to rural producers. An important activity of model libraries is the creation of a Consolidated full-text base of normative documents of local governments of the Chuvash Republic. As of January 1, 2004, its information resource comprised over 15.3 thousand bibliographic records and over 1.5 thousand full-text documents. All central district libraries create their own electronic resources. They form electronic catalogs of local lore, keep chronicles of villages, databases of famous countrymen, and their own sites on the Internet. Teachers were the first to positively assess the new possibilities of model libraries and expressed their desire to acquire and distribute local history databases to all schools in the district: "they are very helpful in conducting local history classes with schoolchildren."

The library has always been a favorite meeting place for the villagers. Today, the rural library has changed beyond recognition: it appeared before its former and new readers as an island of comfort and well-being, surprisingly modern and beautiful. A year ago, none of the villagers could even dream that their library would turn into a modern, not inferior to the metropolitan, computerized library . However, you can't go far on external luxury; you had to fill it with no less attractive content. E yesterday, readers could only be offered books, magazines, newspapers, today the range of library services has expanded greatly: users are offered computer tutors, training programs, e-mail, search for information from databases and the Internet, video screening. The quality of the work of rural libraries is gradually changing, users like easy, quick and convenient access to information. Previously, teachers say, in order to help children acquire knowledge, they had to travel to Cheboksary or Kazan. Today, everyone, regardless of age and financial situation, can take advantage of innovations. Residents of other villages kindly envy their countrymen.

Project Description

Youth is the most mobile detachment of mankind, the life force of society, a bunch of energy, unspent intellectual and physical forces that need to be released. It is she who will not only live in a new society, but also build it. Libraries are actively helping with this.

The modern library implements successful projects related to various spheres of our life. Today we position the library as a territory of new opportunities, and this territory is just for young people.

The library is an open institution focused on meeting the cultural and informational expectations of the population. What can we do today to make the library for young people interesting and popular? Look for new dynamic forms of work, supplementing them with content that is in line with the spirit of the times.

The leisure of young people differs significantly from the leisure of other age groups due to their specific spiritual and physical needs and their inherent socio-psychological characteristics. Young people are interested in everything new, unusual. They are characterized by the predominance of search activity, they are attracted by entertainment, spectacles, light music, dancing, and games. Due to the fact that negative manifestations in the sphere of leisure are largely due to its disorganization, it becomes necessary to determine ways to influence the leisure sphere of youth life.

The practice of youth leisure shows that cultural and leisure centers do not always build their work based on the interests of young people. It is necessary not only to know today's cultural needs of the young, to anticipate their change, but also to be able to respond quickly to them, to be able to offer new forms and types of leisure activities. And here the library can play a significant role. It is open to young people, it is a platform for their direct communication, interaction with each other, with society, for the exchange of opinions and ideas.

In the MAUK "Intersettlement Central Library" of the municipal district Tuymazinsky district, the number of young people from 15 to 24 years old makes up 30% of the total number of users. In the City Model Library No. 4, which is the basis for the implementation of this project, the number of young people is 39%. Basically, these are pupils, students, young specialists, workers. Work with pupils, students - as the most creative, lively and responsive audience, is always active and consistent.

It is no secret to anyone that today's youth do not have as much free time - from study and work - as, obviously, we would like. Therefore, the issue of leisure for this category of library readers is quite acute. Of course, the library in this case is far from the only and not the first hunter for the leisure time of young people. These can be cafes, cinemas, clubs, discos, etc., where young people prefer to gather in companies of peers and like-minded people.

In order to adequately compete with such serious competitors, the library could interest young people in providing integrated services: not only information, but also services with immersion in culture and creativity.

During the implementation of the project, we hope to identify a special category of young people with creative potential and creative thinking and to form in them the habit of systematic visits to the library in order to turn their leisure time into a means of acquiring not only new experiences, but also knowledge, skills and abilities.

The library today is ready for a frank conversation with young people, we crave change and change, we want to work for the young and together with the young.

Objective of the project:

Creation on the basis of the City model library No. 4 "Creative-territories START".

Project objectives:

• To ensure the unity and accessibility of the cultural space for young people, taking into account their cultural interests and information needs.
• Comprehensively reveal the literary, creative, research, communicative, cultural abilities of young people.
• Stimulate the interest of the younger generation in the spiritual and cultural heritage of domestic and world culture.
• Raise the level of intellectual and spiritual development of youth.
• To create conditions in the library for the creative self-realization of youth.
• Organize the work of the library at a new level, thereby increasing the number of users of the youth category.
• Enhance the library's image as a cultural, educational and leisure centre.
• Search, development and implementation of new forms and directions in the organization of work with youth.

Basis for the implementation of the Project:

City model library No. 4 is the largest structural subdivision of MAUK "MCB" of the municipal district Tuymazinsky district. The total area of ​​the library is 324 sq.m. Library fund - more than 36,000 copies. publications. The library annually serves 4,050 users with more than 100,000 titles issued. Number of seats - 70. Number of personal computers - 2, there is an Internet connection. For users there is a legal system "ConsultantPlus".

The library is located in the city center, which is convenient for users. In the service area of ​​GMB No. 4 there are 2 general education schools, a secondary specialized educational institution, a number of enterprises and organizations. The lack of accessible cultural and leisure facilities in this area of ​​the city makes it possible for the library to implement this project.

GMB No. 4 has created a comfortable environment and a favorable information environment that promotes the self-realization of young users and the development of their creative abilities.

The employees of GMB No. 4 are mostly young creative librarians who have some experience in working with a youth audience, they know how to work brightly, they want to communicate, express themselves, which makes it easy to establish contacts among young people. Library youth are mobile, quickly and efficiently pick up innovative, creative ideas and successfully implement them.

Social significance of the Project:

The project will create conditions for the cultural leisure of young people and the realization of their creative potential, as well as support the further sustainable innovative development of library services for the population of the Tuymazinsky district, coordinate the activities of all organizations and institutions working with youth.

The model library is an exemplary library located in a well-maintained building, with a well-stocked, diversified fund, equipped with modern computer equipment, using the latest information technologies in its work.

In 2002, the Ministry of Culture of Russia and the Interregional Association of Business Libraries at the expense of the Regional Public Organization "Open Russia", as well as regional and local authorities and sponsors, began to implement the project "Creation of model public libraries in the countryside." Since 2006, the project has been included in the Federal Target Program "Culture of Russia".

Since 2009, with the support of the FTP "Culture of Russia (2006-2011)", the National Library of the Udmurt Republic has been implementing the project "Creation of Model Libraries in the Udmurt Republic". Within the framework of the project in 2009, 2 rural libraries received the status of model libraries. The Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation provided computer equipment and office equipment for each of the libraries in the amount of 140 thousand rubles, paid for the training of library staff in working with information technologies, and completed the funds with new printed and electronic publications in the amount of 250 thousand rubles. Repair of library premises and ensuring fire and security safety was carried out at the expense of municipal budgets.

In 2011, with the support of the republican target program "Culture of Udmurtia (2010-2014)" within the framework of the project "Creation of Model Rural Libraries in the Udmurt Republic", 1 model library was opened on the basis of rural libraries. The library received computer equipment worth 75,000 rubles. and replenished the fund with printed and electronic publications for 225 thousand rubles.

In 2012, 2 more model libraries were opened. Each received computer equipment and office equipment worth 75,000 rubles. and replenished the fund with printed and electronic publications for 100 thousand rubles.

In 2013, 2 model libraries were opened - in Kiyasovsky and Yarsky districts. Each library received 175,000 rubles from RCP funds, including 61,000 rubles. to equip the library with office equipment and 114 thousand rubles. to replenish the fund with printed and electronic publications.

Publications on model libraries in the local press (2004)

President Nikolai Fedorov received a letter from representatives of the Chuvash diaspora ─ librarians of Bashkortostan, who visited our republic in early October 2005. The guests got acquainted with the development of librarianship in Chuvashia, studied the experience of colleagues from the National Library and rural model libraries.

"We saw great changes and achievements that the Chuvash people have the right to be proud of. These are gasification, housing and road construction, reforms in the field of culture. A breakthrough into the future was the decree on the creation of rural model libraries in Chuvashia. Our republic is only taking the first steps in this direction .

We are touched and delighted by the attention the government of Chuvashia gives to the libraries of the republic. The openness and accessibility of the republican and local authorities are highly respected. I am glad that the librarians of the republic inform the population about all changes in the legislation.

Living in Bashkortostan, we love Chuvashia and wish it further prosperity," the letter says.

Matveeva G. New opportunities for rural libraries // Soviet Chuvashia. - 2005. - January 17. - C.1.

Everything is relative. The head of the Khirposinskaya rural library of the Vurnarsky district, N. Mikhailova, reluctantly recalls her previous working conditions. In winter, it was cold in the reading room, even coats and felt boots did not save. Readers tried not to linger. Another thing now. Both old and young are glad to look into the "household of Nadezhda Vladimirovna". And not only because it is warm and cozy here. Gasification of the village helped speed up the modernization of the library. Now she is in the rank of model.

In updating the rural library network of Chuvashia, the past year was fruitful. The bar set by the President of the Republic was overcome: by the end of 2004, as planned, 100 model libraries appeared in the countryside. Funds from the republican budget were invested approximately equally in the creation of each of them. The requirements were also the same: to repair the building, to provide telephone communication, heat (the ideal option is gasification), to update the furniture. But the amounts invested from local budgets range from twenty thousand rubles to a million. And this contribution depended not only on the thickness of the purse of municipalities, but also on their readiness for change. For example, Alikovskaya regional library was accepted only conditionally. And the Yantikovites were forced to renovate their library again.

Modernization is a costly pleasure. One pulls the other. For example, 200 meters of asphalt were laid to the Kozlovskaya regional library. In many rooms it was necessary to change the heating system, re-mount the wires. After all, with the advent of new information technologies, the load on the network increases. In the Ibresinsky district, 100 thousand rubles were spent only on the replacement of electrical wiring. Somewhere it was necessary to change rickety fences, demolish dilapidated sheds. Some have spent a lot of money on roof repairs, because you can't put a computer in a room with a leaky roof. Along the way, we have to think about the development of communications enterprises. Most of the model libraries are connected to the Internet. In the rest, either there is no telephone, or the network is so weak that access to the World Wide Web is difficult, as in the Vurnarsky, Shumerlinsky districts. This problem will be solved only with the replacement of old automatic telephone exchanges with modern ones.

It is a pity, of course, that not every library computer can access the global network, but many readers do without the Internet. Most young students and specialists come to the library for specific literature and additional information, for reference materials. And they are placed in electronic editions, which came along with computer equipment. The rural library is already able to meet the needs of students of higher educational institutions. Here you can have lessons in any subject. If, for example, a few years ago, "Eugene Onegin" was studied only from books, but now in the CD you can find critical articles, bibliographic information, even listen to the opera of the same name performed by the best masters of the stage. Such a lesson will not seem boring to anyone. But for this, the teacher himself must visit the library and know its possibilities. 100 models are today 169 units of computers and other equipment, about seven thousand electronic publications and 3.5 thousand video cassettes. All this wealth needs protection, otherwise you can easily be left without a computer, as it was in one of the libraries of the Cheboksary region.

Central district libraries already have their own websites. They competed last year. Batyrevskaya CLS won, the second and third places were won by Tsivilskaya and Yadrinsky library systems. The most relevant and interesting information from the library page is taken to the regional one, and from there to the main republican page (cap.ru). This is a good incentive. There is another plus. Thanks to computer technology, regional book depositories can engage in publishing activities. For example, among the many booklets published by the Shumerlinskaya regional library, there are the following: "Echo of an accident. Does Myslets have a future?", "Work. Protect yourself", "Sober thoughts", "Stalingrad. Event. Symbol", "Valery Yardy "," Yuri Kudakov "and others.

Of course, work in model requires higher qualifications from personnel. Rural librarians have completed week-long courses, constantly receive individual consultations, many of them gained computer literacy at labor exchanges. And the employees of the district libraries traveled to Nizhny Novgorod, Ulyanovsk, Saransk, they were taught the intricacies of drafting projects for participation in various competitions. Go ahead, win grants. Unfortunately, not everyone is active. By the way, a training center is being created at the National Library, the goal is the same - advanced training.

Naturally, the workload of model library workers has increased. However, most of them still receive the salary of ordinary librarians. It is not surprising that more affluent enterprises poach such specialists to themselves. In this case, it is recommended to pay extra to people from the local budget. Unfortunately, one can count on one hand the districts where librarians receive at least small bonuses. The targeted training of these personnel required a lot of effort, money and time. Losing them would be too costly. Moreover, work on equipping book depositories with the latest information technologies will continue. Next in line is the opening of another 38 modern libraries. Well, those who have already received a new status must constantly take care of updating funds and databases. The opportunities for development are endless. Yes, there are already problems. They now, I think, should be more involved in local authorities.

It opened on New Year's Eve in the village of Khirposi, Vurnar district. The first stage of modernization of rural libraries has been completed. What is curious: this was largely facilitated by the gasification of settlements. In the same Khirposy, the librarian N. Mikhailova was sitting at work last winter in her coat and felt boots. And in order not to lose readers, she often went home with a bunch of books. Now the library is warm and cozy. “I don’t even want to leave here, we couldn’t even dream of such conditions,” admits the very first librarian in the village, invalid of the Great Patriotic War G. Spiridonov. The library began in the post-war period with several dozen books in an old cabinet. Today, such a modern information technology has come to the rural outback, which would place the entire library of Gavriil Spiridonovich at that time on one CD. On a computer, you can leaf through the Great Soviet Encyclopedia, read books by foreign and Russian classics, admire works of fine art, find any legal information, a legislative act. There is access to the leading libraries of Chuvashia and Russia.

The breakthrough into the information space has come true. The possibilities of model libraries were the first to be assessed by teachers, agricultural specialists, and young students. Attendance increased by 2-3 times. Back in April 2003, when the President of Chuvashia signed a Decree on the creation of one hundred rural model libraries in 2003-2004, many doubted the successful implementation of the project. Such experiments were also carried out in some other regions of Russia. Notes opened only 4-6 libraries. Our republic has set the highest bar for itself by starting a large-scale transition to a qualitatively new level of library services. For almost two years, the attention of library specialists throughout Russia has been riveted to Chuvashia. Simple curiosity has been replaced by interest, people are already coming to us for experience. Having visited one of the modernized rural libraries, the experience of Chuvashia was positively assessed by the President of Russia V. Putin.

If we count the city ones, there are 102 model libraries open. In the new year, their number should increase by another 38. By the end of 2007, 350 libraries will switch to new information technologies. The President of the Republic set the task of making Chuvashia a civilized, cultural, highly educated, technologically advanced, and innovative region. In achieving this goal, modern libraries should play a significant role.

Last Tuesday, celebrations for the opening of model libraries took place in the village of Shikhazany, Kanashsky, in the village of Vurmankasy, Cheboksary, in the villages of Kovali, Urmarsky, Nizharovo, Yantikovsky and Isakovo, Krasnoarmeisky districts. Repairing and equipping one hundred rural book depositories with modern information technologies in a year seemed at first a difficult task. But here they did it. To date, 97 libraries have acquired a new status. Three more model rooms will open in December.

Moscow colleagues from the Interregional Association of Business Libraries called this process a library revolution. The implementation of the Decree of the President of Chuvashia on the creation of 100 model libraries contributes, especially in the countryside, to improving the quality of life and improving the information culture. In the process of modernization, the entire work of the library network is being rebuilt, its resources are being enriched, and the premises are being reconstructed. Each of the model libraries has its own zest: among them there are specialized local history, environmental, educational, family reading.

Today, in a modern rural library, one can learn how to use a computer, access electronic documents, and access the Internet. Children's computer clubs, youth excursion and local lore services are being opened, and information support is being provided to rural producers. All central district "houses of the book" create their own electronic resources, form local lore catalogues, maintain village annals, and have their own websites on the Internet.

The experience of Chuvashia in the informatization of rural libraries was highly appreciated by the Russian government: it is recommended that all regions of the country adopt it.

Feklina N. Information resources of the Center for the population /N. Feklin // Kanash. - 2004. - September 30. - C.2.

One of the most important and significant events that took place today in our city was the opening of a model library.

In connection with the acquisition of the status of a model library, the central library has new functions and opportunities. Today, it has sufficiently extensive information resources to satisfy a significant part of user requests. First of all, these are reference books, encyclopedias, statistical collections, educational literature on economics, law, etc., acquired by the library, electronic (including multimedia) resources. Automated workplaces for users have been created, and the range of services has expanded.

The library operates a Center for Social and Business Information. It was created to provide information support on legal and social issues to various segments of the population. To date, the Center provides access to the reference and search system "Consultant Plus", BPA STC "System", Internet resources, databases of other libraries in Chuvashia. The city entrepreneurs will be interested in such databases as: "Own Business", "Enterprises of Kanash", digests "Business Etiquette", "To Help Entrepreneurs". Young readers in our Center can learn new technologies: study computer programs on CD-ROM, watch videos to help the learning process. Citizens can get information about the schedule of buses and trains, data on the work of state institutions of the city, addresses, phones, hours of reception of citizens, using the database "Social Information Bureau".

In order to actively promote the library in the information space, expand the system of informing the population about the resources and services of the CLS libraries, a website for the central library system of Kanash was created.

Library users, along with free services, are also offered service ones. This is a comprehensive library and bibliographic service for organizations and enterprises of the city, the implementation of complex references using remote access, thematic selection of literature on order, typing on a computer, scanning, printing information on a laser printer, etc.

A brief analysis of the Center over a short period of time showed that more than 800 inquiries were made, and the visit was 300 people. Quantitative and qualitative indicators show that we are on the right track - the Center needs to develop and improve further.

Dear citizens! We are waiting for you at the address: Razin street, 3. Opening hours - from 8 to 19 hours, day off - Saturday.

Alexandrova N. You, me and information / N. Alexandrova // Tăvan en. - 2004. - September 25. - C.3.

The rural library connects a person, wherever he lives, with the whole world, reveals to him hitherto unknown knowledge, information and provides an opportunity for in-depth spiritual development. For example, the information bibliographic service in the library of the village of Ishley is carried out on an individual and group basis. Subscribers of individual information are readers who are interested in a particular topic. They are given the right of priority to get acquainted with the latest literature on the relevant issue. Information lists for individual information include documents not only from the collections of our library, but also from the collections of other libraries.

Users are interested in various topics: the history of factories and enterprises of the village of Ishley, rare species of endangered plants, gardening, biographies of prominent people and many other things. We embody their interests, we provide a rich choice.

Group and mass work includes a combination of various techniques, including visual forms of informing. These include stands and book exhibitions. Their subject matter is varied. "New Literature" - this is the name of a real exhibition of new books on a variety of issues. Mini and express exhibitions are especially popular in the library. They showcase the most important and interesting publications. We design an exhibition of one article, one newspaper, one magazine.

Book exhibitions have recently been arranged: “Let's take health from nature”, “Through the pages of the Olympic chronicle”, “Learn to see the beautiful”, “Books that are waiting for you”.

We regularly hold specialist days and information days. We spent a day of legal information with the invitation of a lawyer. We made an exhibition on a legal theme. An information digest was held for graduates “I go out on the road alone”.

The library has a local self-government corner “News from the rural administration”. We keep folders: “Resolutions of the Ishley rural administration”, “Chuvashia - the land of coastal willows”, “New documents”, “Famous people of the Cheboksary region”, albums: “Tavan yalam, savna yalam”, “History of the Ishley library”, “Life of the Ishley library” ”, “The village of Ishley in photographs” and others.

Thus, our rural library is moving towards strengthening the information function and is gradually turning into an information center. Not forgetting about the basic, traditional methods of work.

Oreshnikova T. Let the good light not go out in the windows of the library // Forward. - 2004. - September 11.

The updated library, which is scheduled to be opened on City Day, September 11, is a pleasant surprise and gift for the Sumerlinians.

In order to rejoice at such a significant event in the cultural life of the city, to rejoice together with the employees of the Shumerlinsk City Central Library, who are always friendly and welcoming, I went to the library, having previously phoned and arranged a meeting with its director E.S. Vildyanova. I saw a renovated reading room, a subscription room, a living room "In the circle of friends", a computer room, a corner "Reader" - for the smallest, who still cannot read.

The last preparations for the opening of the library were going on in the library: someone pasted the letters on the panels, someone fixed them on the shelves with books, someone served the readers. Everything was so exciting, but nice. The premises after the renovation became even more spacious, cozier, brighter.

We practically did all the repairs ourselves, - E.S. explained. Vildyanova. Since February, we have not stopped working. We pasted the walls, painted the windows, glued the ceilings, hung curtains on the windows, and much more had to be done.

Librarians worked, regardless of personal time, creatively approached the creation and design of the interior, but not to the detriment of their main work.

I must say that the furniture that the library halls are equipped with was also made with the participation of the workers themselves. At their request, sketches were drawn up, according to which furniture was then made.

The opening of the updated library was preceded by a large amount of work.

But today it's all over. It remains to make the final touches. And today the library will again open its doors cordially to readers, friends, sponsors and assistants, those who helped the library acquire a renewed face, helped bring this happy moment of the grand opening closer.

The living room "In the circle of friends" will again become a meeting place for true and devoted friends of the library. Various educational events will be held here, incl. literary and musical and others.

Exhibitions of Sumerlin artists will be held in the “In the World of Beauty” hall. The department of local lore "Legends of antiquity deep" is, as it were, the initial step towards a broader acquaintance with the life and utensils of our predecessors in the city museum. The department closely cooperates with the museum, various events are jointly held. For example, on City Day, a quiz "Live and hello, my city" will be held here.

The club of billiard lovers works mainly with difficult teenagers, city schoolchildren. Children are interested in this game, they are happy to go here. And in the summer, the tennis table is set outside, and the children play in the fresh air.

But what about in the future?

We will strive to ensure that our library is not only a place for lending books, but becomes a center of communication for all family members, however, this is how it is today, - E.S. Vildyanova. - Through the activities that are held in the library, we try to introduce readers to the world of beauty, instill in them love and respect for parents, for elders, teach them to love their Motherland, nature. Activities are aimed at strengthening the family, to combat addictions.

And library workers have one more cherished dream. They have a great desire to equip the square, which they consider their pride, to ennoble it, cut trees, plant flowers. They plan to create summer reading rooms here, where, for example, a child can play and move in the fresh air.

I would like to hope that the library workers will realize all their dreams, and their faithful and reliable friends, sponsors, and readers will help them in this. Let the good light not go out in their windows.

The library is very grateful to the head of the city administration V.M. Sadyrge, head of the department of culture V.N. Yakovleva for support and all kinds of assistance in the renovation of the premises, PE Yu.V. Fedorov, PE S. Razgudaev, artist M.V. Kolchin, stores "Korall" (director L.M. Leontieva), "Melody" (director N.M. Bedretdinova), IP S.V. Batyukova, leather haberdashery factory (director G.V. Khairetdinova), reader N.V. Yermishina, who donated books from her own library to the city library. They say special words of gratitude to Yu.V. Midukov, T.A. Midukova, N.M. Morozova and everyone who is friends and cooperates with the city library, their names are listed in the library book of honor - the "donors" section. I would like to wish everyone: both readers and librarians friendly work, inspiration, and creativity.

Alexandrova T. A good name remains forever // Forward. - 2004. - September 8.

Our grandparents say correctly: "A good name is more valuable than wealth." Older people understand that there is wealth today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow it may not exist. And only a good name remains forever, even after the death of the person himself.

This truth, contained in the proverb, is convincingly confirmed by the events dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the famous cosmonaut A.G. Nikolaev. The whole republic, honoring the hero of the day, recalled his achievements and successes, comprehending the significance of what he did for Russia, for the whole world.

Shumerlinsky district took an active part in the anniversary events. Particularly great work in this direction is carried out by the Central Regional Library, where many exhibitions and memorial evenings are held. The library did not stand aside from all-republican events.

On September 3, from 13:00 to 14:00, a one-time Internet campaign was held throughout the republic, including an electronic presentation of the database “Shorshely. Space. Shorshely". In our district, the Shumerlinskaya central regional model library, Tuvan and Yumanai rural model libraries joined this action.

Students of the eighth grade of school No. 6 were invited to the Shumerlinsk Central Regional Model Library. The students were interested in learning about the life and work of the national hero, getting acquainted with his biography. The disc will include Nikolaev's memories of childhood, his native village, his first teacher, and the most significant life events. Students with pleasure got acquainted with the gallery of photographs and visited the Museum of Cosmonautics in absentia. The value of this event lies in the fact that it played a great role in the cognitive sense, as well as in the development of a sense of patriotism.

The Yumanai and Tuvan rural model libraries also demonstrated to their readers a CD-ROM published for the cosmonaut's birthday.

A significant moment in the series of anniversary events was the literary and space conference "Earth's Gravity", held on September 6 in the assembly hall of the district administration. The hall was packed. Young people, heads of rural administrations and employees of the district administration were present. It is very sad that such an event coincided with the tragic events in North Ossetia. In his opening speech, the head of the district administration, V.A. Murashkin, recalling the innocent victims of Beslan, called on those present to honor the memory of the dead with a minute of silence. War veteran Vasily Kondratievich Simsov also expressed words of bitterness and pain.

Employees of the Shumerlinskaya Central Regional Model Library invited those present to an excursion-requiem based on Nikolaev's book "Earth Attraction". The narration was conducted in an interesting form for the audience: prose alternated with lyrics, various slides replaced each other on the computer screen, a video clip showed fragments from the astronaut's flights, and all this was accompanied by sentimental music. Then there was a presentation of the disc “Shorshely. Space. Shorshely”, and in conclusion, the presentation of the booklet “Star Son of Chuvashia”, published by the information and bibliographic department of the Shumerlinskaya Central Regional Model Library for the 75th anniversary of the national hero, took place. The booklet includes an essay about A. Nikolaev, as well as a list of books and periodicals where you can find information about the astronaut.

I would like to believe that the Internet campaign “Shorshels. Space. Shorshely" left a significant mark on young hearts. After all, the life of A. Nikolaev is an example to follow. It teaches us respect, kindness, courage and endurance, and also gives us strength to achieve our goals.

Kashaeva O. Among books and disks / Olga Kashaeva // Youth Courier - 2004. - July 28 (No. 29). - C.4.

In April last year, President Nikolai Fedorov issued a decree on the creation of rural model libraries in the republic. Now you can look into the big world through a miracle screen in almost any village. Of course, we did not see satellite dishes or robotic librarians in the Shumerlinsk Central District Library. Perhaps all this is in the future. As long as people work here. Having heard about model libraries, which is what this one is, we looked into the repository of wisdom. The shelves of the reading room are filled with CDs, audio and video cassettes. Here, of course, traditional books, magazines and newspapers. One thing is obvious - library readers are gradually retraining as computer users. For a year now, the library has been equipped with a basic set of computer equipment, legal reference systems, electronic editions, and the best books. And access to the library resources is free. We are talking with Marina Badina, head of the information and bibliographic department: - There are enough visitors, - says Marina Naimovna. Yesterday, for example, one businessman spent the whole day at the screen, studying the reference and legal system "Consultant Plus". He urgently needed one normative document. It's nice that they come to us for help. Among visitors of the Center - pensioners, students, schoolboys. The real excitement was during the final exams, when the database "Universities" was in great demand. Readers have no problems in handling electronic encyclopedias and reference books. Those who own a computer can handle themselves, and employees help the “dummies”. By the way, Marina Naimovna recalls, librarians learned computer literacy themselves, at first being afraid to even touch an expensive car. Now employees boldly compile electronic catalogs, issue an electronic version of the city newspaper "Forward" and even engage in publishing work. Every month the information and bibliographic department publishes thematic booklets: on the history of the villages and villages of the region, about the famous Sumerlinians. This series included publications about singer Augusta Ulyandina, composer Yuri Kulakov, athlete Valeria Yarda, poets Ivan Akhakha and Alexei Mazhukov and others. The Sumerlins still remember the terrible accident at the Myslets junction. Librarians bit by bit collected all the information and prepared a booklet. Booklets about the dangers of alcohol and drug addiction are distributed at the discotheques of the district. There were cases when young people asked to make a photocopy of the publications they did not get. The library is responsible for all publishing costs. Sumerlins come to the library not only to get acquainted with new books, surf the Internet or look through a fresh newspaper. At their service, legal advice is provided by employees of the prosecutor's office. You can get legal assistance both by telephone helpline and directly at the reception. The library currently has two computers. But this is only the beginning. It seems that we are slowly beginning to understand that the library is something more than a collection of books. Especially in the countryside. They say that the profession of a librarian is not prestigious. That must have been the case five years ago. Today, go to any treasury of human thought - the profession is getting younger. Here is my friend, an intern in one of the libraries, after graduation she intends to stay among books and computers.

Nosova O. Valuable gift to library users // Our word. - 2004. - June 30.

A Valuable Gift for Library Users In recent years, library funds, unfortunately, have been replenished with new editions, first of all, with electronic information carriers, which are so necessary for our users. This situation has developed throughout the country due to a shortage of funds for their purchase. That is why the President of Chuvashia, Nikolay Vasilievich Fedorov, on April 7, 2003, signed the Decree “On the Creation of Rural Model Libraries in the Chuvash Republic”, thanks to which rural model libraries equipped with new computer equipment began to open in our Republic. In early June, the Mariinsky Posad centralized library system received four sets of CDs worth 14,000 rubles. This generous gift was given to all model libraries of our republic, opened within the framework of the Decree of the President N. Fedorov "On the creation of rural model libraries in the Chuvash Republic", by the Interregional Association of Business Libraries. In our district, these sets will be received by the Bolshe-Shigaevskaya, Bichurinskaya, Neryadovskaya rural model libraries-branches and the central regional library of the Mariinsko-Posad centralized library system. In addition, the Shorshel and Elbarusov rural computer libraries have already received similar kits earlier as part of the project “Creation of computer public libraries in rural areas”, implemented by the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation; Regional Public Organization "Open Russia", Interregional Association of Business Libraries (MADB); CBS "Kyiv" (Moscow). The sets contain discs of various content, including art, literary criticism, essays on various topics. There are disks of encyclopedic and reference content, on needlework and cooking, as well as a film based on the script of the English writer D. R. Tolkien "The Lord of the Rings" and. of course, there are many other discs that you, dear residents and guests of the city and the region, can see with your own eyes in the above libraries. Library users, I think, will be happy with this pleasant surprise.

The project of creating a network of model libraries has been implemented in the republic since last year. Kanashskaya became the seventieth in a row. It is equipped with a satellite dish and is connected to the Internet. A set of multimedia discs worth 920,000 rubles - a complete collection of classical works with sound and video - was donated to the city by the public organization Open Russia. Now at the meetings of the literary club "Springs", which has existed at the library for more than 20 years, romances written to the verses of famous Russian poets will sound. “It's wonderful that we are creating such modern centers of culture,” proudly says the oldest member of the club, Valentina Pavlovna Vvedenskaya.

According to Irina Ilyina, head of the service department, three-quarters of the library's visitors are young people under the age of 24. So the opinion that young people do not like to read is wrong. In the library center for social and business information, you can find all the information you need about legal acts of federal, republican and municipal significance, and establish contacts with business partners. Information is sorted into folders, which is very convenient for visitors. "The people of Kanash have created an amazing center of information and culture," said the President of Chuvashia, Nikolay Fedorov.

Sergei Stepashin, chairman of the Union of Book Publishers of Russia, who came with the President to the opening of the library, did not hide his admiration: “What we saw is amazing. The congress of Russian book publishers will soon be held, and we will certainly allocate one more set of literature for the Kanash library from our funds. Although it is not customary for us to help the same region twice (the republic already received one set last year), your efforts to create model libraries deserve special attention. I really hope that other Russian regions will follow Chuvashia. But you will still be the first ... "

Pavlov A. Libraries acquire the status of model //Respublika. - 2004. - June 23.

At the next extended meeting of the administration of the Urmarsky district, as the main issue on the agenda, they included a discussion of the implementation of the regional program "Preservation and development of culture, art and cinematography of the region for the period up to 2005".

Heads of departments, departments and institutions of the region, heads of settlement and rural administrations, Chairman of the Committee of the State Council of the Chuvash Republic on Culture, Education, Science and National Policy Elena Sergeeva took part in its work.

The speaker, the head of the culture department of the district administration, T. Viktorova, noted that a significant event in the cultural life of the district was the opening of model libraries in the villages of Bolshoye Yanikovo, Chelkasy, Starye Urmary, as well as in the district center. In the village of Kovali, such a cultural institution will appear in November.

Model libraries operate information centers with legal databases "Consultant Plus" and "STC "System" (FAPSI). New information technologies are used in the activities of libraries), including during public events. For various categories of the population there were presentations "Model Library - the imperative of the times."

A bank of legal acts of local self-government bodies is being formed in electronic form. Also, various library databases were purchased - “Universities”, etc. Own electronic presentations “Summers and faces of the Urmar land”, “Sports stars of the Urmar land”, “My small Motherland” about the past and present of the village of Old Urmary were created.

In the libraries of the district, work is underway to improve the quality of the book collections, international norms and standards of information and library services for the population are observed.

Participating in the competition of programs and projects within the framework of the federal target program "Youth of Russia" (2001-2005), they won a grant of the 3rd degree in the Chuvash Republic - 5 thousand rubles, on a Russian scale - 40 thousand rubles, the program is called "Drug stop". The program of this project is carried out on the basis of 3 rural libraries-branches - Bolsheyanikovskaya, Shikhabylovskaya, Bishevskaya and is designed for rural students from 13 to 17 years old.

In 2004, work on drafting was continued. The Department of Culture of the Administration of the Urmarsky District sent 6 projects to the Ministry of Culture, Nationalities Affairs, Information Policy and Archives of the Chuvash Republic for the competition.

The main goal of the district program is the preservation and development of cultural traditions, support for cultural initiatives, the formation of high spiritual and moral qualities of the individual, support and development of amateur art, study of the culture and history of the native land. Every year, cultural institutions hold a regional festival of amateur art "Leysya, song". This year it was held as part of the republican festival and was dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. The best teams of the Bolshechakinsky, Kudesnersky, Chelkasinsky, Kovalinsky, Shikhabylovsky TsSDK were awarded with the Certificates of Honor of the festival and a cash prize.

In April, a regional (within the framework of the republican) review of propaganda teams “Rejoice, victorious Spring!” was held. The best propaganda teams of Kudesnersky, Chelkasinsky, Arabosinsky, Shorkistrinsky, Bishevsky houses of culture reached the final and performed at the Center for Culture and Leisure on May 1.

At the same time, due to the lack of financial resources, not all of the plans were achieved. The Arabosinsky and Shorkistrsky culture houses are in disrepair. The Kovalinsky House of Culture needs a major overhaul of the heating system.

In her speech, Elena Sergeeva noted that the State Council Committee on Culture, Education, Science and National Policy is currently working on the preparation of a number of bills on cultural heritage sites (monuments of history and culture), on education and others, and also dwelled on the need to replenish the book fund in school libraries at the expense of funds contributed by parents, sponsors, etc.; raised issues of strengthening the work of educating young people to love Chuvash literature.

At all times, the fruits of civilization reached the village with a great delay. The difference in the conditions of life, work, study of the villagers and the townspeople forced the rural youth to leave for the cities. And to leave the village without young people means to deprive it of its future. Nowadays, more attention is paid to the arrangement of the rural hinterland. This is not only gas in houses and asphalt on village streets. Most family doctor offices are located in rural areas. Computerization of schools began in 6 districts of the republic. Educational and cultural centers are opening. With the implementation of the Decree of the President of the Chechen Republic on the creation of rural model libraries, a completely new information technology comes to readers. The number of model libraries is constantly increasing.

How do the villagers themselves assess this innovation? Here are some opinions.

Our Bolsheyanikov library has changed beyond recognition. She became the best in the area. Renovation, color TV, stereo, computers, new books - all this is today's reality.
For the villagers, the opportunity to access the Internet, access to legal literature, rich encyclopedias and dictionaries is a great value that will help to study and work, make life more interesting.
T. Petrova. Urmar region.

Our library, connected to the World Wide Web, allows you to use the information resources of the largest libraries in the world. Anyone can get acquainted with the electronic database "Rights of our children", "My first library", "Children's Encyclopedia of Cyril and Methodius". For high school students, there is all the information about the educational institutions of Chuvashia.
By evening, the library is overflowing with children's laughter. Schoolchildren, having prepared lessons, gather in a cozy corner to find additional educational material, play computer games, watch cartoons. This is another opportunity for them to spend their free time usefully.
Members of the club "Comfort", the village of Experienced, Tsivilsky district.

The opening of the model library was an event for us. Its appearance has completely changed - new furniture, false ceiling, snow-white tulle on the windows, flowers on the windowsills. I don't want to leave the reading room. To services of visitors: a color TV, a video recorder, a music center. At any time, you can watch videos of classic literary works. There are films on history, ecology.
The information sector has expanded its capabilities. CDs have been received on many school subjects, there is a "Children's Encyclopedia of Cyril and Methodius".
Here you will be helped to make photocopies of any legislative documents available in the reading room, scanning the text. This allows students to reduce the time for preparing term papers and theses.
The model library is also a replenishment of the book fund: there is more reference, legal, legal literature, textbooks, encyclopedias. This is a step into the modern world, a qualitatively new level of culture.
M. Shefner, teacher of Russian language and literature, Tsivilskaya secondary school No. 1.

We, students of the Shemurshinsky secondary school, attend library computer literacy courses "My Friend is a computer". They are organized thanks to the opening of the first model library in our village. It has appeared publications on electronic media on school subjects, interesting, informative encyclopedias that help us in our studies.
Yu. Zaklitsky, P. Ermolaev, S. Silyukov.

I work at school as a computer science teacher, for a long time I have been a reader of the Chelkumaginsk rural library. I'm glad she's made such a big change. From a dilapidated and cramped building, she moved into a spacious and bright room. It has modern technology.
For some, the library is a repository of books, for others it is a place where you can spend your free time interestingly. And for me it is a source of new knowledge.
Attractive computer room, equipped with a rich collection of multimedia publications. I would like to hope that in the near future readers will be able to use the services of the Internet.
It is a pity that a photocopier is not yet included in the magnificent set of technical means. To make a copy of the document, we now have to go to Kanash or Shikhazany.
V. Anatolyev, teacher at Srednekibechskaya secondary school, Kanashsky district.

I really like the updated library. There are more new books on the school curriculum, reference books. And I especially like the fact that in the reading room you can study on a computer for free.
D. Petrov, student of Vurnar secondary school No. 1.

The opening of the Malokarachkinskaya rural model library is a great joy for the readers of the eight surrounding villages. Finally, modern information technologies have come to us. The villagers got the opportunity to broaden their horizons. Schoolchildren learn to work on a computer, and in the evenings women and young people gather in the library to do needlework, hold themed evenings, and prepare for concerts. We would like to make the most of modern electronic technology, but, unfortunately, due to the lack of a normal telephone connection, we are not yet able to access the Internet.

V. Vadimov. Vysotsky “came” to the model library //Soviet Chuvashia. - 2004. - February 5.

He came with his poems, songs, with the video film "Monologue". For a virtual evening of remembrance. In the rural library of the Napolny Poretsky district, this is quite possible, because it is now a model one, connected to the Internet. And in the regional library, also a model one, there is an information center. It forms a fund of official documents of authorities at all levels. Databases of legal information, local lore, about noble people of the region are constantly replenished. An electronic bibliographic index "The Pride of the Russian Land" has been issued - dedicated to the 140th anniversary of the famous shipbuilder A. Krylov. The electronic card file "Chuvashian Universities" contains information about all higher and secondary specialized educational institutions. The Internet is working. At least 100 people visit the library every day. The network of model libraries today covers several villages in all regions of Chuvashia.

V. Borisov. The first model library // Banner of Labor. - 2004. - January 31.

“It turns out that wonderful gifts are not only in my bag. Ivankovites received a real gift before the New Year. Now in their village library you can not only read books, but also work on the computer. Grace!"

In the village of Ivankovo-Lenino, Alatyrsky district, the opening of the first model library took place. Residents of the village, the head of the district administration A.I. Blashenkov, the Deputy Minister of Culture and Nationalities of the Chuvash Republic R.M. Lizakova, the director of the Central Children and Youth Library of the Chuvash Republic T.R. Grigoryeva gathered for the celebration on the occasion of this pleasant event. It was noted that in recent years a lot has been done in the region for the development of social facilities. New schools are being built, general practitioner offices are being opened. The model library is one of such necessary objects for the village.

Then R.M. Lizakova spoke about the activities of model libraries in our republic. Today there are more than a hundred of them. She also introduced the equipment of the model library, which includes a computer, TV, VCR, music center. In conclusion, R.M. Lizakova congratulated the villagers on the solemn event, presented the library with sets of video cassettes and CDs.

Literally in a few days, the “book house” of the Adabay educational and cultural center of the Morgaush district was transformed. After repairs carried out in a short time, the third model library in the region was opened here (the first two were opened last year in the Sosnovsky educational and cultural complex and the central regional library). The first Internet users came to the owner of the new institution, Lia Filippova.

In anticipation of modern information technology, residents of another settlement. On January 29, a model library will open at the Yunginsky Educational and Cultural Center.

It is good for the Yadrinsky bookworms: their central regional library is located in a building that is an architectural monument of the 19th century. There is some special aura in the old mansion, conducive to leisurely reading.

However, only the walls are old here, and the “stuffing” is quite modern. This year, the library is participating in a computerization program financed by the regional branch of Open Russia. Now the Internet is also available to readers.

E. Fedorova. The first model //Alatyrskie vesti was opened. - 2004. - January 1.

Last year, under the program "Creation of Computer Libraries in Rural Areas" through the Ministry of Culture of Russia, 3 computer libraries were opened in our district: in the city of Yadrin, the village of Maloye Karachkino and Laprakasy.

This year, already in accordance with the Decree of the President of the Chechen Republic “On the Creation of Rural Model Libraries in the Chechen Republic”, on January 29, the first model library was opened in our district in the village of Upper Achaki.

Among the numerous guests were representatives of the local and regional administration, the Ministry of Culture and Nationalities Affairs, the Children's and Youth Library of Cheboksary, who donated a computer to the library. Modem, scanner, printer, color TV, video player, a set of CDs, videos, new books to provide modern services to the population of the area.

The opening of model libraries in the region is also planned in the villages of Kukshumy and Kildishevo.

Two more model libraries will appear in the republic this week. On Saturday, one will open in the Central Library in Kugesy, the other in the village of Batyrevo. In honor of the "birthday" of the new library, Batyrevtsy will receive a whole set of modern equipment: computers, a modem, a printer, a scanner, a color TV, and a video recorder. Now, through the Internet, residents of the district will be able to get acquainted with electronic versions of Russian magazines, catalogs of the largest libraries in Russia, such as Leninskaya, Gorkovskaya and others. Courses for readers will also start to work, where it will be possible to learn how to use electronic documents.

In total, 27 modern information centers have already been opened in the republic under the presidential program for creating rural model libraries. Next week, the ribbon will be cut at the door of the renovated Komsomolsk regional library. And before the end of the year, computers will start operating in three more rural reading rooms: in Urmary, in the village of Yunga, Morgaush district, and in the village of Srednie Kibechi, Kanash district.

Three model libraries were opened yesterday in the Mariinsky Posad district. They appeared in the Shorshelskaya, Elbarusovskaya rural libraries and the Marposadskaya central regional library. The opening ceremony was attended by guests from the Interregional Association of Business Libraries (Moscow), the Ministry of Culture of Chuvashia and the National Library.

Each library received modern computer and office equipment: two Pentiums, a copier, a printer, a scanner, as well as sets of books and CDs. They were thoroughly prepared for their opening: the local administration made repairs to the premises, updated the furniture, the employees underwent an internship in Moscow, learned the basics of computer literacy, working with Internet resources and multimedia products. Now rural libraries have become modern information centers, giving local residents the opportunity to significantly expand the boundaries of their ideas about the world.

L. Arzamasova. There are no obstacles for charity // Soviet Chuvashia. - 2003. - November 4.

Rural model libraries are being opened one after another in the republic. After the signing of the corresponding decree of the President of Chuvashia N. Fedorov (April of this year), 15 of them were created, by the end of the year there will be 33. And by the end of 2004, 100 such libraries will appear in the regions of the republic.

It is planned to equip 94 model libraries with funds from the republican budget. They offer visitors computers, TVs, audio systems, the best books. And the "birth" of six more libraries was financed by the regional public organization "Open Russia", created by the shareholders of the oil company "YUKOS" and a group of private individuals to manage existing and new major social projects. These libraries, already fully equipped, are ready to open their doors in the Mariinsko-Posadsky and Yadrinsky districts (three in each), the Republican Ministry of Culture and Ethnic Affairs said.

The chief specialist of the Interregional Association of Business Libraries B. Samokhin (Moscow), with whom the SC journalist contacted by phone, told the background of the creation of model libraries. This project was launched in February last year by Open Russia, and Chuvashia actively supported it. Today, Open Russia, on the recommendation of the federal Ministry of Culture and the Association of Business Libraries, has included our republic in its second project, which provides for the creation of computer public libraries in rural areas. The difference between this project and the first one is that the emphasis is on the "computer component" - each library has a solid set of CDs and special literature, which, of course, is not cheap. By the way, the second project covers 24 libraries in the Russian regions, including those of our neighbors - in Mordovia and the Nizhny Novgorod region.

Employees of all new libraries from Chuvashia, again at the expense of Open Russia, were trained in the basics of computer literacy in Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Ulyanovsk and Samara. And in mid-November, specialists from the six libraries mentioned must repeat everything they learned with a Moscow teacher who comes to Cheboksary, after which these modern libraries will solemnly open. Will plans change in connection with certain events around Yukos? “Open Russia will keep its charitable activities at all costs,” assured the Interregional Association of Business Libraries.

Director of the Central Library Library A. Fedorova, conducting a tour of the halls of the updated "rejuvenated" library, spoke about the history, its formation and development, the book fund, employees, activities, successes and the creation of a model library.

Recently, within the framework of the project "Creation of Computer Public Libraries in Rural Areas", carried out by the RF Ministry of Culture, the Interregional Association of Business Libraries and funded by the Regional Public Organization "Open Russia", the information center of the library received 2 new computers with all components, a copier, 102 newest publications on computer technology and program, 137 CDs of not only educational but also cognitive character. Here there is directly an information block (traditional book fund), a bibliographic database in both traditional (card file) and electronic form.

All information that is presented to users is systematized and archived, completed in the folders "Famous people of the region", "Economy of the region", "Ecology of Chuvashia", "Social problems of the region", "Legal issues", etc. Also, library employees noted an increase the number of visitors several times with the opening of an information and legal center here.

A visit to the local history department of the library made a pleasant impression on the guests, where more than 2,000 copies of books and magazines about the Chuvash Republic, Yadrin and the Yadrinsky district are collected. According to the leading bibliographer of the department E. Stolyarova, there are constant book exhibitions here. On that day, 2 exhibitions were presented to distinguished guests: “Prisurskaya Land”, dedicated to Yadrin and the Yadrinsky District, and “Anniversaries of Our District”. The latter was dedicated to the merchants-philanthropists of the 19th century, the Talantsev brothers, the youngest of whom (Zinovy) turned 135 this year. A press dossier based on materials from the periodical press and local history folders "Enterprises of the Yadrinsky District", "Architectural Monuments of the City and the District", "People of Art, Literature - Natives of the Yadrinsky District", "Ecology of the District", etc. were also presented. About 1000 books donated to the central regional library by local history historian, our countryman L. Izorkin, also found shelter here.

“Not all regional centers and cities have such exemplary libraries,” was the general opinion of the guests.

G. Matveeva. Enough for the library to walk in "Cinderella" //Soviet Chuvashia. - 2003. - September 23.

After the default of 1998, cultural institutions for the budget of the republic became, figuratively speaking, like a suitcase without a handle. It's a pity to throw, it's hard to carry. By the way, for many regions of the country, cultural institutions also turned out to be an unbearable burden. As a result, only 35 libraries remained in Russia for every 100,000 people (in Chuvashia - 52), and the difference between clubs is even greater: 38 and 74. As you can see, despite the difficulties, Chuvashia managed to keep houses of culture, library clubs.

But the number means little if these institutions do not meet modern requirements. It's time to get serious about restructuring them. At this stage, both the forces and the means for this important matter can already be carved out. At the initiative of the President of the Republic, first of all, they took up the improvement of libraries. In 2001-2002 a real breakthrough was made in their computerization. Now all republican, central, regional, children's and city libraries have automated workplaces. This allowed Chuvashia to be one of the first in Russia to create a network of legal information centers.

In April of this year, N. Fedorov signed a decree on the creation of 100 model rural libraries. The Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation assessed this decree as the most significant and notable event in the country's library industry. Why did you start with rural libraries? Yes, because 87 percent of them are in rural areas. And also because the villagers have unequal access to information with the townspeople.

R. Denisova, Minister of Culture and Ethnic Affairs of the Chechen Republic, spoke about how the above-mentioned decree is being implemented at a press conference in the Press House. Ten model libraries are already in operation. Their benefits; in each - at least 4-5 computers, a scanner, a color TV, a video recorder, a music center .... And this is access to legal, technical, encyclopedic and other information, the ability to visit any museums and exhibitions of the country and the world using the Internet. The prestige of the profession of a librarian began to grow before our eyes. In the universities of the republic, the competition for "librarianship" has increased by 2.5 times. For a rural library, becoming a model is like turning from a poor Cinderella into a princess. Only this transformation does not happen as quickly as in a fairy tale. The program is designed for several years. Until the end of the year, 23 more libraries will be opened one after another. 67 should be updated next year. In 2005-2006, 250 libraries are to be modernized. Over time, model libraries and their branches will serve the entire population of the republic.

Now the industry is armed with 382 computers, their number is constantly increasing. The main thing is that they should not be idle. Each librarian must be fluent in computers and not only use ready-made programs, but also create his own database. Computer proficiency testing has already been introduced. Those who do not want or cannot learn how to use it will have to look for another job.

Chuvashia is the first to create a program for the restructuring of cultural institutions in the countryside. Some experience is already there. Educational and cultural centers appeared in some areas. For 2004, 210 rubles 20 kopecks are allocated for each rural consumer of cultural services. Under conditions of such unification, it is unprofitable to maintain and develop institutions scattered throughout small villages. Old, dilapidated clubs and libraries will have to be disposed of.

Of course, the villagers will perceive innovations ambiguously. Obviously, there will be collective letters asking them to keep their little old club. Remember what messages were sent to the authorities when the transformations began in schools (“you remove the school, the village will die”), but these fears subsided with the advent of school buses. Such passions, apparently, will have to be experienced again. Let's hope that they will subside with the advent of educational and cultural centers (names can be very different), bibliobuses and car clubs, which, according to the schedule, will come even to the smallest and most remote settlements.

Without the development of culture, it is impossible to "pull" the village out of its current state. The Russian government adopted the target program "Social Development of the Village". The same project with the calculation until 2010 was adopted in our republic. A more detailed program aimed at improving the culture of the village is also being developed.

By the way, a big conference on the development of rural areas is opening today in Cheboksary. The routes of its participants include visits to cultural institutions in many regions. Of course, there will be different opinions, discussions, interesting proposals. We will definitely tell readers about this.

S. Matveev. Kozlovka has a "second wind" // Soviet Chuvashia. - 2003. - September 2.

“Everything here seems to be according to world standards,” said N. Fedorov, having familiarized himself with the Kozlovskaya central district library, which received the status of a model one. Its director M. Soldatikhina - a searching, promising leader - set a goal to bring her institution closer to the Moscow level. To a large extent it succeeded. Now there will be even more visitors here. After all, they have at their disposal the most modern audio, video and computer equipment, the Internet and satellite communications. For any student of Kozlovka who knows how to use a PC; it will not be difficult to walk around in virtual reality, for example, in the Louvre or read books from the library of the US Congress. In addition, the renovated library building has become much more comfortable - it was connected to gas heating. Nikolai Vasilyevich came to the librarians, of course, with gifts: he handed them documentation for new computers, a TV set, a video player, handed over sets of books, audio, video cassettes and CDs.

Having received a charge of vivacity and positive emotions from what he saw, N. Fedorov shared his impressions with journalists. Recently, he had to travel through the rural areas of the Kirov, Nizhny Novgorod, Ivanovo, Kostroma and Vladimir regions. And everywhere he saw a sad picture of dying villages. “Thank God, in Chuvashia we managed to overcome these destructive processes,” said the head of the republic. “In difficult conditions, we managed to save the Chuvash village.”

G. Matveeva. ... And a satellite "dish" on the school roof //Soviet Chuvashia.-2003. - August, 26th.

Education should not go in isolation from upbringing, physical and spiritual development. After a long search and experimentation, finally, all these links are combined into one complex. The first educational and cultural centers in the republic appeared in the Morgaush region.

The Minister of Education of the Russian Federation V. Filippov visited the opening of another educational and cultural center in the village of Vaskino. Vaskino is an ordinary outback. The people here are just weird. Judge for yourself. Two Heroes of the Soviet Union came out of the local secondary school: Grigory Alekseev and Yakov Anisimov. The school, which bears the name of its countryman, the first Chuvash professor N. Nikolsky, is proud of many of its graduates. Among them, for example, the Olympic champion, Honored Master of Sports of Russia Valentina Egorova.

Equipped with modern equipment, the two-story educational and cultural center for the comprehensive development of children has everything you need. Bright classrooms, an ultra-modern library with a reading room, a choreography room, a museum, a large club. The complex will also include a gym.

Vladimir Mikhailovich examined the classrooms and the N. Nikolsky Museum with interest. Particularly interested in his model library. He interrupted the story of the Minister of Culture and Nationalities Affairs of the Republic O. Denisova about the presidential program for the computerization of rural libraries with questions. He was interested in the basic principles of the model library, training of employees, rates. When asked whether the teachers themselves know the computer, Olga Grigoryevna answered that a lot of work has been launched in the republic to master computer technology. - Before the grand opening of the center, the President of the Republic N. Fedorov pleased the audience with a message that 4 modern computers and equipment for a model library worth 150 thousand rubles were being transferred to the school. And V. Filippov, to help the educational and cultural center, promised to put a satellite "dish" on the school building for Internet access. Having familiarized himself in detail with the work of a new level library, Vladimir Mikhailovich was convinced that the children of the Chuvash hinterland get the opportunity to virtually visit the Hermitage, the Louvre Museum in Paris, and the Lenin Library in Moscow.

The educational and cultural center is also valuable because these ultra-modern computers become available to all residents. Villagers will have a separate entrance to the library. Everyone can come and see any legislative act, presidential decrees, government decrees, can write a letter and send it by e-mail, scan the necessary documents, request the necessary literature. It offers visitors - TV, video player, audio center, books. Here you can hold lessons and various events. The library will also be open in the evening.

V. Filippov, N. Fedorov, Ministers of Education and Culture of the Chechen Republic G. Chernova, O. Denisova met with local residents and teachers of the district in the assembly hall of the complex. N. Fedorov stressed that thanks to information technology, rural children have the opportunity to become competitive with their peers from big cities. Passing a unified state exam, they will be able to enter any university in the country, “storm” several educational institutions at once.

The availability of culture and information from all over the world creates conditions for the comprehensive development of children. I am sincerely happy for you, because I myself am from the village. The main thing now is not to be lazy, but to strive for knowledge. Under such conditions, everything else depends on you, - said Nikolai Vasilyevich, addressing the children.

The federal minister noted that only 10 percent of schools in Russia have such a modern library, including those in Moscow; And in other schools, even in big cities, there are no model libraries yet. The Sosnovskaya school received this gift thanks to the policy that is being implemented by President N. Fedorov. The words of the minister about the supply of sports equipment to the school in the coming months were greeted with applause. Vladimir Mikhailovich turned to the head of the district, V. Vyazov, with a request: “Let's find some money and pay extra to the physical education teacher, coach, so that the gym does not close early, but works until 10 pm. Then the children will spend their free time not on the street, but in the gym.”

The first educational and cultural centers, model libraries... These terms, inspired by the new time, are still unclear to many parents. But their children and grandchildren will have to live and work in the age of information technology. It is not easy to make a computer breakthrough. But this must be done if we want to keep up with the times.

F. Simakova. Model library - what is it? // Banner of labor (Kozlovsky district). - 2003. - August 26.

Recently, we have been hearing about the opening of model libraries, which will soon appear in our area. I would like to know more specifically about these cultural institutions. For clarification, we turned to the director of the centralized library system, M. Soldatikhina.

The very word "model" speaks for itself: model, that is, the best, exemplary, such a library that will serve as a model for other libraries. By decree of the President of the Chechen Republic N. Fedorov, 2 such libraries were created in our region in 2003 and will be opened on August 30: the central regional library and the Tyurleminskaya rural library. The model library implies the preservation of the traditional functions of the library and the introduction of new information technologies, which, first of all, will manifest themselves in automation and computerization.

Marina Sergeevna, what new things will the users of your library get with the organization of the model library?

First of all, it is free access to Russian and foreign intellectual resources on any media, which, of course, will contribute to the information security of the rural population. The main goal of organizing a model library is precisely the qualitative increase in the level of service for our users.

- So, having come to the library, we can get the information contained in any other library?

Naturally, the model library will have access to the Internet. thanks to which our users will be able to use the electronic delivery of documents, that is, without leaving our library, receive information from the National Library of the Czech Republic and other libraries in Russia and even the world.

- What databases does the library itself have?

Already today we can offer our users the legal databases "Consultant Plus" and "FAPSI", that is, any law, decree, order, instruction, even if it is from 1934, but is valid, can be obtained from our library.

- ...and anyone can come and use the library, even from other villages? And will it be paid?

In general, the library today remains the only information center available to every resident of the district, and available free of charge.

- What new information technologies are used in the library?

New information technologies are one of the most important and priority directions in the library. Since 2002, our library has 3 computers, we expect 2 more computers in the near future. One of the tasks of the library is to create an electronic catalog, moreover, a catalog that our readers could use on their own.

For many, this technology is still new, and therefore unfamiliar. Will the library teach how to use the catalog?

The task of librarians is to teach readers how to work with the electronic catalog and other databases. This is a very important point, since half of our users are students and future students who, while studying at universities and technical schools, will have to work in large libraries, and electronic catalogs have been created in them for a long time. Also, our librarians will train users and work on the Internet.

- An electronic “Bank of legal acts of the Kozlovsky region” is being organized in the library. What it is?

Since 2000, the library has organized the collection; storage and provision for use by the population of official documents of the local administration, that is, a resident of the district can receive a resolution in the library, an order from the head of the district administration, a decision of the Assembly of Deputies, a district program, etc. This is also one of the new directions in the activity of our libraries. By the way, rural libraries also receive similar documents from rural administrations.

- According to the decree of the President, equipment will be allocated. How is it planned to be used?

The other day we have already received a TV set, a video recorder, a stereo system, a computer, books, that is, deliveries have already been made. The library already has films on various topics, for example, to help the educational program: "Eugene Onegin", "War and Peace" and others; films such as "Girls", "Height" and others. In November, it is planned to hold a film festival of forgotten films "Kalina Krasnaya". Starting from September, the library's "Choose Life" advisory center will resume its work, where films aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle will also be shown. In addition, the library has CDs: A Walk Through the Hermitage, The Great Soviet Encyclopedia, Literature at School, and others.

- Speaking of new technologies, we lose sight of the fact that the library is, first of all, books...

Yes, of course, we pay close attention to the acquisition of book collections. Just the other day, ten sets of books were received under the Rural Library project, which is more than two thousand copies.

We invite all residents of the area to our model library, where we can offer you the most up-to-date information services. And in conclusion of our conversation, I would like to quote the words of the Yugoslav writer Ivo Andric: “Where there is respect for the book and awareness of the need for libraries, sooner or later their correct use will develop, and sooner or later the beneficial fruits of this use will appear.”
