Book Swap
The second book swap was held within the framework of the festival "Reading Pavlodar". This time it was in the form of a blind date with a book! Those who wish brought with them books packed in wrapping paper and signed with a brief intriguing annotation. Those who were interested in the abstract of the book could take it for themselves. The game "Where is logic?" on a literary theme was fast and exciting! The game consisted of several rounds, and in the final two teams competed in the game Elias ("say otherwise").
In addition to the fun moments, the book swap program included a charity book exhibition. The action was announced in advance and for 2 days Pavlodar residents carried books to the library for the fair. On the day of the festival, all the donated books were put up for sale. The proceeds were sent to the treatment of a seriously ill girl Ailana. A great help in organizing the book fair was provided by a volunteer, Pavlodar photographer Valeria Pekareva. It is not the first time she holds such fairs in the city, this time she brought book bookmarks for sale in addition to books. As a result, 65,900 tenge was earned at the fair and sent to the account of Ailana's mother.
