Libraries as a cultural heritage of mankind carry important historical milestones and revive brilliant eras for future generations. One of such creations of the world was the state reading room of Rostov-on-Don. Let's talk about her today.
Let the centuries-old labor of the ancestors never die
Today the Internet has already enslaved, it seems, all the thinking of mankind. Netted, made available communication, animation and video, music and games, online reading and learning in general. But is it true that it carries at least some semantic load, the ability to think and move convolutions? But what about the good old books that smell of tar binding and sing with a bewitching rustle of pages?
Thick "Treasure Island" by Jules Verne, glossy sheets of "A Thousand and One Nights of Scheherazade", the intricate investigations of James Hadley Chase and Arthur Conan Doyle come to mind. And what wonderful illustrated encyclopedias, scientific literature, works of great people can be found in the libraries of the countries of the world! Of course, and on the Internet today to find such a digitalform is not a problem, but no one has ever canceled real woven, leather and original covers. And it is considered lucky to pick up a work of art and read it from cover to cover.
One of the wonders of the world is the public library of Rostov
The city of honors and military glory Rostov-on-Don has a unique architecture of Russian culture - the state reading room, which bore the name of Karl Marx from 1886 to 1921. After that, it became known as the public regional library of the Russian people. Although the creations that contain the "repository of books" are collected from all over the international world. There you can read both ancient manuscripts of the Vatican itself, as well as rare copies of the sages and biblical life, as well as modern bestsellers by writers from all countries.
You are simply amazed at how carefully the ancient canons and the latest editions are carefully preserved and arranged on the shelves, how peacefully the servants of the book palace treat their “wards” and how neatly they are arranged according to the register. The opening hours of the public library are also observed. Rostov is generally famous for its values in terms of human communication and proper pastime. Everything always opens and closes on time. If the working day has come - everyone is at work, if it is a vacation or a holiday - then there are no obligations, except for household chores.
Everything for the exhibition in the Rostov library
And, of course, what chic exhibitions take place in the heart of the handwritten palace, which is the public library of Rostov!Here are cultural events of writers and poets, art galleries of famous and newly nurtured authors, photo shoots and display of interesting landscape and human images, cinema, concerts and humorous festivals. The people spend creative evenings with benefit and rapture. And all this allows you to place in its halls the public library of Rostov-on-Don.
Amazing exhibitions are dedicated to the anniversaries of the reading room itself. So, every year on the birthday of the “temple of the soul and education” screenings are opened, and people are given the opportunity to contemplate the historical documents of the book depository. Polite guides tell tourists and citizens about the invaluable national fund of the reading museum, which has been accumulating knowledge and age-old wisdom for 130 years. Promotions and drawings are also held among visitors to festive events. And many residents of the glorious city on the Don help to collect the catalog in order to leave an indelible legacy to their distant descendants. Therefore, all locals know about such phenomena and try to make sure to book a free tour to where such a significant event as an exhibition in a public library is planned. Rostov seems to come alive all at once, and a good mood is read on everyone's face.
How does the book kingdom bloom?
It is clear that behind such a powerful "empire", which is the scientific and artistic foundation of book education, care and vigilance are needed. The staff of the museum library with huge reading rooms and rooms for exhibition arts work tirelessly andefforts. Each booklet must be dusted, the floors washed, the rooms cleaned properly.
Many visitors daily pass through this paradise on earth and irrigate their brains with the divine nectar that exudes the Don Public Library. Rostov-on-Don, thanks to such a center of energy and spiritual nutrition, is enlightened and receives great knowledge of civilizations.
But what if it's not a library, but the World Wide Web? Which is better?
It has been known since ancient times that reading yourself is much more effective than listening to stories from outside. When a reader delves into the lines, running through them with his eyes and exploring with his mind, he remembers and absorbs information several times more than “it flew in one ear, flew out the other”. So is the Internet. It gives a visual representation of events that are mixed with distractions to other forms, such as music, movies, games, desktop notifications, push mailings, attention scatters. In the book, the reader is completely immersed and until then bears episodes in his head until he finishes the next chapter or the whole story as a whole. He will remember the studied masterpiece for the rest of his life and will retell it to others. And this is where insurmountable circumstances and forces come into play.
Deal with conscience, or traction of minds. Continuing on the Internet and Libraries
In pursuit of the above, let's draw a he althy and bold line. Any paper work is easily perceived at home, in nature, on a trip and wherever you feel like doing itreading or continuing an unfinished section. And on smartphones, laptops and tablets, there is no such zeal and never will be. The thrust is not the same, the interest is not the same. Yes, and from netbooks with a PC eyes quickly get tired.
Unfortunately or fortunately, electronic gadgets are not designed for enthusiastic scooping of knowledge and therefore can never replace a real and "living" book. Today, many older people and most of the golden youth, despite the information age, prefer to visit such necessary universities as the public library of Rostov. Only there, with the help of scientific and fiction, real geniuses of their times grow up. Although modern poets and prose writers have adapted to easily compose and print poems, poems and vaudeville on keyboards. But tapping keys is not reading.
Where is this street, where is this house?
And this miracle is located on the southern borders of the Russian Empire, as mentioned above, in the glorious city of Rostov-on-Don.

That's the whole story - what you can't cut down with an ax will be drawn with a pen
To go back many years ago, when Pushkin and Lermontov, Yesenin and Blok were sculpting. And Lenin, with a kerosene stove or a splinter, spent the whole night avidly studying the letters of the yellowed pages. At that time, inquisitive, ambitious and far-sighted poets and storytellers were born. They pulled out the whole depth of the philosophical judgments of a simple peasant soul, as well as the teachings of great thinkers. Don publicRostov Library today gives us these masterpieces and is waiting for everyone and always in its secret depths of inexhaustible, exciting and intriguing letters.
