Today, libraries are equipped with modern office equipment.
Libraries have existed for a long time, but their popularity came after the population became literate.
People became interested in reading books, and therefore in libraries, from the moment when Soviet times done school education mandatory.
They supplied the population with books; a person does not need to buy a book, he just needs to go to the library and choose the work he likes.
In Russia, the holiday was approved by the President of the Russian Federation B.N. Yeltsin. In 1995, according to Decree No. 539 “On the establishment of an all-Russian library day.” The celebration date is set for May 27.
History of libraries
The first books date back to the Sumerian period. They were clay tablets.
They were stored in clay jugs, standing on shelves, which were “signed” with small clay tablets, informing about the branch of knowledge of the first “books”.
The funds were protected in the spirit of those ancient times. The inscription in the first library stated that the wrath of the gods would fall on the person who dared to take away the table.
The Arab Caliphate had great respect for libraries, calling them “houses of wisdom.”
Before crossing the threshold of the library, a person approached the source located at the entrance and performed ablution. Visitors anointed themselves directly on the floor covered with carpets.
The title of the largest library of antiquity is rightfully given to Alexandria, founded in the 3rd century BC.
A part of the complex was allocated for it, which included botanical and zoological gardens, an observatory, living quarters, reading rooms and, finally, the library itself, consisting of 700 thousand documents and 200 thousand papyri.
The first library in Rus' was founded in 1037 by Yaroslav the Wise at the St. Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv.
If you go back into the past of Russia and look into the medieval monastery library, you can see workshops where manuscripts were copied - church scriptures or works of antiquity.
The process was extremely labor-intensive, books were expensive, so in libraries they were chained to shelves.
Fun fact
There is such a practice - mobile library points. This applies to remote areas and a certain group of citizens: the disabled, the elderly.
Buses and vans are used for transportation, and in Zimbabwe donkeys are used for these purposes.
How to celebrate Librarian's Day

It was on May 27 that Catherine II, Empress of All Rus', with an imperious hand signed the document on the creation of the Imperial Public Library. Today it is called Russian National Library and is considered one of the largest in the world.
The CIS countries continue to celebrate Librarian's Day. Each country chose its own date for the celebration.
For example, Ukraine celebrates September 30, and the Republic of Belarus – September 15 (the date was chosen due to the fact that the National Library was founded in the country on the same day in 1922).
What to give for Librarian's Day
A gift to a librarian should emphasize the importance of the profession. If you congratulate a woman, then you should remember that regardless of her field of activity, she belongs to the fair half who loves cute trinkets.
Choose a tasteful souvenir for her - a mirror in a luxurious frame or a box, a case for mobile phone, decorated with stones and beads. A bouquet of flowers will enhance the impression of any gift.
On May 27th, librarians preserving cultural heritage and informing the population about it are worthy of the most sincere wishes.
Express your affection for a person of this profession using original gift which will please him. May his soul be filled with joy and warmth.
There is a legend about the Liberia of Ivan the Terrible - a unique collection of works.
Give a painted mouse as a gift; the gift will be useful both at home and at work. An original and exquisite gift would be, for example, a crystal painting that will delight a person working in the field of spiritual values.
A bright, cozy hammock will allow you to enjoy reading a book on fresh air. The main thing is, when choosing a gift, do not forget that a librarian is just a woman.
Who loves and knows the works of Russian and world classics more than a librarian? The librarian will be glad to receive a portrait of his favorite poet or writer.
It would be appropriate to present a portrait of Catherine II as the founder of the first library in Russia.
Conclusion
The day emphasizes the importance of this profession and the libraries themselves for introducing the people of the country to the eternal and unshakable spiritual heritage.
A librarian who carefully treats the material entrusted to him preserves the heritage of the nation, the fruits of human genius, concentrated in book publications.

Poems about libraries and librarians
Sometimes you get tired of peace
And the person will get bored...
I'm in this situation
I always go to the library.
I wouldn't be able to avoid coming here.
I am connected to books forever.
And in life I'm not alone,
While I'm going to the library
Babenko G. L.
The source of knowledge is not particularly in fashion,
It’s much easier - press a key! -
And without difficulty it seems like
And he speaks when he has something to say.
No need to work with your eyes or hands
And you don’t need to strain your brain at all,
A panacea for sadness and boredom -
You look at yourself, lying down on the bed...
But you can’t compare the picture, even if it’s in motion,
With the intensity that a living syllable gives:
You read the classics, immortal creations,
You lose peace and tranquility.
They have something to say, something to tell,
What to teach descendants from century to century.
All their words are victory over grayness,
Over everything that a person should not live over.
What to choose - decide for yourself, people,
Questions in life are different for everyone.
But let the book be the main one for at least a day,
On All-Russian Library Day!
We congratulate the workers:
Not joiners, not carpenters,
Not bakers, not turners -
And in our reasonable age
Congratulations to those who work
He tries, he worries,
Who touches our soul
Within the walls of libraries!
The workers are wonderful
Clear in soul and heart,
You are so needed for society
And it's no secret!
We wish you spring
Today's mood!
Good luck and creativity to you
For many, many years!
May there be many changes in the world,
The library will not be touched by decay.
Teacher, mechanic and poet
Both a businessman and a local historian
All questions will be answered here
There are people in the library all day long,
There's a lot to do in the library.
You can visit clubs here
And study foreign
And listen to music and play KVN

"Captains of the Book Seas" - a scenario for an event for schoolchildren, dedicated to the profession of a librarian
Researchers believe that the first book depository in Rus' appeared a very, very long time ago - in 1037 under Yaroslav the Wise. Catherine II in 1795 issued a decree on the creation of a state library in St. Petersburg - the Imperial Public Library. It was the first library available to everyone. Later, in 1995, the President of Russia issued a decree on the celebration of All-Russian Library Day and timed it to coincide with the date of the decree issued by Catherine the Second - May 27.
Modern libraries, according to some experts, are experiencing a stage of decline. The increasing spread of the Internet and the availability of almost any information online is significantly reducing the popularity of ancient “book depositories”. However, forecasts for the future are optimistic: yes, there are a lot of problems with premises, lack of proper funding, legal problems, but libraries are something more than just a warehouse of books.
Today is library day
And the book is not forgotten now,
After all, the Internet will not give you knowledge,
And the library door is always open!
Only in the book is knowledge, in the book is life,
And in books is the wisdom of generations.
And let them hurry to the library
Readers of all ages and generations.
Congratulations to librarians today,
Thank you for your hard work,
We appreciate you and respect your books,
Let libraries come to life with renewed vigor.
Every profession has its own smell.
The smell of books on the shelves warms your soul,
You faithfully preserve human wisdom,
Tell people: “Take everything for free!”
On this day we wish you to live longer
And donate to the library every day.
May your health last for another hundred years,
Let the words witchcraft always excite you!
May you be loved, appreciated and spared,
They don’t skimp on prizes, expensive awards!
Happiness to you people. What more could you want?
You will never know either trouble or grief!
Happy holiday to all librarians! Creative inspiration, inspiration and good luck in all your endeavors! Health, changes in better side and the desire to be better. May all your everyday life be productive and successful.
Books are wisdom, a storehouse of knowledge -
Every person knows.
So let's remember
We're talking about Library Day!
The smell and rustling of pages
Will not replace the Internet.
Let the libraries live
The teachings give us light!
Happy World Library Day
I sincerely congratulate you,
More good, smart books
I wish you good luck in life.
Good luck, happiness and love to you,
Successes and victories in your work,
Let the days flow with interest
In worthy, meaningful concerns.

Let the energy rage
May every moment give you joy.

Like a high speed express train.
Here, opening any book,
You find yourself in a world of miracles.

And you make friends
This world cannot be forgotten
Happy library day, friends.
Happy Library Day!
From the bottom of our hearts we want to wish you now
Good health, more money
Yes, less tired at work.

And readers - more polite, kinder.
In any case, we wish you good luck,
It makes my heart happier.

On magical worn pages,
You're incredibly lucky
Stay in the kingdom of books constantly.

Will bring a lot of new knowledge,
Warm meetings, kindness and attention!

Will not defeat all those who love the rustle of books,
Who appreciates books and has been in love with their smell since childhood.
Libraries paved the way for enlightenment
And enlightenment is the best inheritance.
Let technology only be your servant,
Let the flow of readers not weaken.
Librarians of health and goodness,
Let reading your favorite books warm your heart.
Congratulations today
All those who love books and reading.
After all, books reveal secrets,
How to live, love, learn and dream!

Despite the fact that the librarian profession, like libraries themselves, is gradually dying out, there are still people in our country who will celebrate their professional holiday on May 27 - Librarian's Day.
History of the holiday
This holiday was established by Boris Nikolaevich Yeltsin back in 1995. According to the text of the decree, new holiday became a worthy response to the contribution of the country’s librarians to the development of cultural relations in Russian society. In his decision, the president was guided by another date that happened several centuries ago. On May 27, 1795, the first public library was founded in Russia. The assortment of the new establishment was small, but now everyone could familiarize themselves with the text. If, of course, he could read.
All-Russian Librarian Day should be widely celebrated, at least as stated in the recommendation to local governments. This urgent recommendation should not be ignored, in order to avoid possible problems. Therefore, when the day of the librarian comes, a wide variety of events are held: meetings with famous writers, literature seminars and much more. What the authorities have enough desire and resources to do.
The very first library
Officially, the first accessible library opened only at the end of the 18th century, however, according to the latest research by historians, the library operated during the time of Yaroslav the Wise, when there were no people who could read, and there were no books at all. This event is dated 1037.
In the most reading country in the world, the libraries were the best, largest and most beautiful. Huge book depositories, as they were called then in official, official language, contained the entire cultural and historical heritage of Russia, and were constantly replenished with new, ideologically correct texts, folded into thick books. First, the Bolsheviks took and robbed the loot, nationalizing all the royal libraries. Private home libraries, the number of books in which numbered more than 500 copies, also went to the benefit of the young Soviet state. In the USSR, everyone read (again, if possible), but most of all, Lenin’s faithful friend, Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya, loved books. She was not only fanatically devoted to books, but literally obsessed with literature.
The book is the source of life
In the USSR, books were treated as shrines, and libraries were turned into temples. People went there in droves and sacrificed their free time, in return taking all the necessary information, and at the same time receiving great literary pleasure.
Nowadays
Today the number of libraries in Russia is declining, but at the same time their number is still incredibly large: 150 thousand libraries! A huge figure that again puts our country in the category of the most reading countries. Library Day is most widely celebrated in Moscow, where the most large number so-called temples of literature.
Russian State Library
One of the largest libraries in the world is located in Moscow. But she boasts at the moment maybe only in size, alas, interior decoration leaves much to be desired. With the development of the Internet, information on paper is less and less in demand, which means there are fewer and fewer visitors to libraries. And as a result, funding for libraries is being reduced. The government or private investors are more likely to allocate money to digitize existing copies rather than build additional storage that meets temperature standards suitable for storing books.
Russian National Library
Even though the average person spends less and less time visiting libraries, this does not mean that they should be abolished! Knowledge of history is one of the most important factors to avoid the mistakes of the past, and therefore for the future. The Russian National Library, which is located in St. Petersburg, is one of these treasures, the first book depository of which was opened in 1795! Collected here important documents the times of Catherine the Great and Alexander the First.
Old Believers
It is becoming less and less common to find people in transport reading paper books and increasingly tablets, smartphones and e-books. A person reading a paper book is nonsense for Moscow, and more and more often such people are called Old Believers. And maintaining a large analog home library is much more expensive than storing the same amount of information on a flash drive.
Librarians will live forever
Speech in in this case It’s not about a specific person, but about a profession. Only a qualified, intelligent librarian can help you navigate the huge flow of low-quality literature and find a real masterpiece. So, if you don’t know which book to pick up in the very near future, and the Internet and your friends won’t give you any good advice, sign up the old fashioned way at one of the nearest libraries and ask for advice.
