Libraries Day in Belarus
September 15 · Level 3 · #1612 of 2238
Belarus celebrates its libraries and the people who help readers find their next discovery. The day recognises librarians’ work and highlights libraries as places for learning, cultural encounters and access to information, well beyond borrowing a book.
How it is celebrated: libraries host exhibitions, author events, tours and literary activities. Visitors explore collections and digital resources, while staff receive congratulations and recognition for their work.
The National Library of Belarus has a particularly memorable home in Minsk: its main building resembles a giant cut crystal. A storehouse of books has become one of the city’s architectural landmarks.
