THE LIBRARY ACTIVITIES OF THE SOCIETY FOR THE CARE ON PRIMARY EDUCATION (THE CASE STUDY OF BARNAUL, ALTAI KRAI)

Abstract

The article reveals the activities of the Society for the Care of Primary Education in the context of the history of the creation and development of provincial public libraries in the city of Barnaul. A book, a library, reading allow the transfer of information and in many respects the quality of education, the success of self-education will depend on them. Historically, public initiative played a special role in shaping the educational environment of the region. At the same time, the public library in Siberia is a rethought experience in organizing libraries in the European part of Russia. Thanks to the activity of P.I. Makushin and his followers, in particular V.K. Shtilke, the national library beyond the Urals is not just an exact copy of the European, but its creative rethinking. Traditions laid by the Society and V.K. Shtilke continued in the activities of modern libraries of the city.
