The D.Y. Gusarov Central City Library (October Prokt, 7) won a grant within the framework of the national project “Family” for the creation of a new generation library. The project will be implemented in 2027.
The Ministry of Culture of Russia announced the results of the competitive selection of applications for granting subsidies from the federal budget for the creation of model municipal libraries, which will be opened in 2027 as part of the national project “Family”. Almost 400 applications were received from 82 regions of Russia, of which 289 were supported in 80 regions of the country. According to the model standard, 89 central libraries and 200 small libraries will be re-equipped. Among the winners is the D.Y. Gusarov Central City Library (October Proct, 7), which is an important cultural and educational center of the capital of Karelia.
The Gusarov library is waiting for modernization: repair, purchase of equipment and furniture, renewal of the book fund. It will be a versatile, comfortable and truly creative space for visitors of different ages.
The main library of Petrozavodsk was opened in 1944. In 2001, it was named after the Karelian writer-front-line writer Dmitry Yakovlevich Gusarov. Recall that on September 18, the first model library began to work, which was created on the basis of the Central City Children's Library named after V. M. Danilov (Gogol St., 14).
