On St. Petersburg’s birthday, May 27, librarians celebrate their professional holiday. At a gala evening in the State Academic Chapel, the city’s governor, Alexander Beglov, and the chairman of the Legislative Assembly, Alexander Belsky, congratulated St. Petersburg librarians.
At the festive ceremony, St. Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov emphasized that as long as people read books in living language, they are invincible, just as our country is invincible. 25 libraries of besieged Leningrad, which did not stop working for a single day, were awarded a commemorative sign “Leningrad Libraries: Contribution to Victory.” Among them is the Fundamental Library of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute.
Alexander Beglov also presented the book “Libraries of Blockaded Leningrad”, one of the authors of which was the director of the Fundamental Library of LPI Ninel Plemnek. The commemorative sign was presented to her successor – the director of the Information and Library Complex Alexander Plemnek. He said that the honorary sign will be stored together with the collection of blockade books.
