The chief librarian of the central city library named after Krupskaya Marina Makoyan was among the winners of the main annual professional competition of the country. It was awarded a special prize of the Presidential Library named after B.N. Yeltsin for projects that unite people of different ages and interests.

The Librarian of the Year competition was established by the Ministry of Culture of Russia. This year, 353 applications were received from 77 regions of the country, including four from the Tambov region. In October, the expert council formed a shortlist of 20 finalists, and in November the jury determined the winners.

In her competitive work, Marina Makoyan presented the areas that are conducted under her supervision and have been repeatedly awarded at the regional level: digitizing the fund of rare books in the model library; teaching computer literacy to older people; creating digital local history products.

The names of the winners were announced today in St. Petersburg at a solemn ceremony within the framework of the Annual Meeting of Heads of Federal and Central Regional Libraries of Russia.

The status of a model central city library named after Krupskaya Tambov was acquired in 2021 after a complete renovation at the expense of the national project “Family”.
