The expert spoke about the library of the future in Lukhovitsy

Ekaterina Androsova, director of the Lukhovitskaya Inter-settlement Library named after the poet Ivan Morozov, told on Thursday, October 9, how the institution attracts young people.

In an interview with Radio 1, she noted that the book depository in Lukhovitsy had been turned into a multifunctional cultural hub. After the renovation, the library became a place of attraction for a wide variety of categories of visitors.

The library launches unique projects to attract young people. Androsova gave an example of a career-oriented VR project in which teenagers are taught about medical professions, allowing them to "look inside them" with the help of technology. At the same time, special attention is paid to other age groups: concerts, musical apartment parties and poetry evenings are held for elderly residents, and grant-supported initiatives are being implemented for children and parents.

The changes also affected the work of employees. According to the director, librarians have been learning new roles for a long time — they are actively working with social networks and even studying neural networks, offering visitors master classes on their use.

The citizens reacted positively to the renovation of the space: many reviews appeared on social networks with gratitude and surprise at the changes that had taken place. Androsova stressed that now the key task of the library is to offer readers high—quality, intellectual and creative content.
