Encouraging reading: the territory of ideas and experiences

On October 5, an online meeting was held between librarians of the Pavlodar region and librarians of the Karaganda Regional Children's Library named after Abai. The event was opened by Sholpan Shakhmetova, head of the Pavlodar regional universal scientific library named after S. Toraigyrov, and Kaltatai Kalieva, deputy head of the Karaganda Regional Children's Library named after Abai.

The seminar discussed effective forms of work of children's libraries, the role of libraries in stimulating the creative activity of children and teenagers, the search for new approaches to library service to children and youth that meet the needs of the young generation of readers, as well as the generalization and dissemination of experience in implementing library projects to work with this category of readers in Pavlodar and Karaganda regions.

Pavlodar professionals spoke about the projects "Pavlodar reads to children" (Children reading centre named after S. Bayazitov); "Okympaz balalyk shak" (Central Library of Ekibastuz); "Raising a reader from the cradle" (Central Library of Zhelezinsk); "The world seen through the book" (Central Chilren's Library of the Central Library of Pavlodar named after M. Zhamanbalinov).

As a result of the meeting, it was agreed to hold such meetings more often, which would encourage the development of libraries in the implementation of projects for children and youth.
