Libraries Day in Kyrgyzstan
May 27 · Level 2 · #1822 of 2238
Libraries Day in Kyrgyzstan celebrates librarians and the places that connect readers with books. It recognises their work in supporting learning, helping people find information and keeping the country's literary heritage available to new generations.
How it is celebrated: libraries organise book displays, author meetings and activities that welcome new readers. Staff exchange congratulations and ideas for caring for collections and encouraging children and adults to read.
The country's library collections include editions of Manas, an epic rooted in oral storytelling. Before its words reached printed pages, performers known as manaschi passed the story from one generation to the next.
