“Famous Libraries and Librarians”, an exhibition timed to the Day of Libraries in Belarus, runs in the circular corridor on the second floor, from September 10 to October 10.

At all times, the library was an important part of each nation’s culture. More and more new libraries were being built, and some of them were real masterpieces of architecture. The most outstanding people of the time – writers, scientists and philosophers – were often appointed to the post of librarian. And they had made a great contribution to the development of various spheres of human life.

The exhibition “Famous Libraries and Librarians” presents more than 100 documents. The centerpiece of the exposition is books about the world’s famous libraries. These publications will introduce readers to not only the book collections and activities, but also the history, architectural features and interior design of known libraries, which are often a piece of high art.

The exposition also presents books about outstanding persons whose scientific and literary activity was connected to librarianship.


The opening hours of the exhibition corresponds to the library’s opening hours.
Entrance to the exhibition is available by the library ticket or ticket of the library's social and cultural center.

All books presented at the exhibition are available in the e-Catalog.
