District libraries offer a wide range of modern services.
Information and digital services: We provide access to
online catalogs and databases, as well as training to improve
residents' digital skills and media literacy.
State and municipal support: Many district libraries host
Unified State and Municipal Customer Service Centers,
providing practical assistance with e-services and benefit
applications.
Social inclusion and community: We offer new forms of
reader engagement, such as readers' club, cinema screenings
in regional areas, and special programs for children, such as
"The Little Explorer".
Local history: We preserve and digitalize the history of the
district in specially equipped local history rooms.
Our goal is to ensure a high-quality and accessible cultural
environment, fostering a knowledgeable and cohesive society.
