Who spends the night and why, breakfast, and sometimes lives in the library

- To the library! - the activist of our entrance number seven - low, frying, of a difficult age lady flew into the elevator. I pressed in the mirror. The activist impatiently pressed one per unit. - Yesterday they listened to the opera, now Bardovskaya in 10 minutes! And on Saturday there will be an anniversary, will you go?

I went to this library as a child, but recently I looked out of the windows - on the run. And recently, through other huge windows - on clean ponds - I saw the reading room of the Dostoevsky library clogged by youth. They sat at tables and on windowsills, with laptops, books, cups with coffee. It was a very beautiful youth and just a bewitching sight.

In general, I decided - I’ll go. I will explore what and by whom the modern library lives.

I walked for a long time-a month for the current intelligence centers turned out to be hot. “Biblio”, the night of the museums, finally, is the day of the librarian, which was celebrated on May 27. But there is also everyday life. It turned out rather stormy.

Yuzao, or "Free of Love" for a lonely grandmother

- Imagine, there were not enough places! - I looked around in the deputy reader and planes temporarily given to tanks and planes. The main magazine about modeling Eduard Chukashev. The 50th anniversary of the library No. 179, on Vavilov Street, decided to timed to timed to the Biblio and devote the 60th. At the same time - present another circle. - Won Madame of the post -balzac age model, here is a very young girl, boys, adult uncles. But there is no money - we need hoods, backlight, jobs.

“That's not, that’s not,” Irina Badaeva, the head of the library, sighed under the muffled chords of Bardovskaya, “in the neighboring assembly, military grandmothers and brisk girls in the pioneer caps sang“ You are my breath, my early morning ”under the guitar of the deputy dealership of the Bauman University. -But our psychologist Elena Manukyan, the head of the intellectual club “Fires of Moscow”, is a unique project that is only under our library.

“In the summer, we take the children to replace the health camp on the basis of the health camp, on the day of 4 events-trainings, master classes, flash mobs,” Elena explained. - For three consecutive years we have won grants of the Union of Mental Health. But there is no financing, although they report to us everywhere - everything is at the expense of parents. During the year, a growth program is being developed for each child. We carry out a break-rangi, go on expeditions. Our task is to wake an interest in reading.

We - cognitive and psychoanalysis - can explain to the parent, for example, why the child even goes to the toilet with a book. And this is the defense reaction - when he holds the book, he is not scolded.

- ( continues ) Of course, they come with other problems - both with family and with “poorly study”. We always bring to the book, because any situation can be passed through "bibliotherapy".

“And it’s better through a paper book,” said the head. - As a child, I took the wiped edition of Shakespeare in the library. And she thought: “That's how many people already know Shakespeare, but I am not yet.” And you read and feel that you are on the same wave with these people, that you also know the world. That the book has history, spirituality. Yes, even just the smell of the book.

“Then, these are completely different neural connections,” added Elena. - The book passes many times through human hands, it was recruited, printed, brought. When reading from a sheet and screen, different parts of the brain are involved, with a paper option you get more satisfaction.

“You know, now the youth has no warm eyes,” Irina continued on the way to the large gym of the subscription.

- Clip thinking. Our goal is to reveal people with the help of psychologists, librarians, events. Return the soul to fashion. We have a public - from three to eighty. Registered readers - about 7000. A lot of lonely who do not even come to read, but talk. Then they get involved, record. Here they gave a cry to readers, and look! -We stood at the corner-rooms in the style of the 60s: three chairs, a sofa, a disk phone hanging from the ceiling of a gramplast, cans from black caviar, a lilac dress on a hanger, a piece of wallpaper with a recognizable pattern. - Even today they reported: "This crystal vase will do in the room." This corner with a primer and accounts was organized by the head of the school library. Contacted the Museum of the 60s.

“Chairs - from the cafe opposite,” Elena connected. - I walked five times, give, I say, for the sake of God, for a couple of days. In Auchan, she clung to a woman in glass beads - also ask. In the 60s, the famous "Vlasta" was in the 60s. Oh, you can’t imagine how it all gathered, set up. Every evening people were sitting: "And I also had such a vase." The very communication that is not enough today. And where to go? The psychological care service does not work very much, and we are the most open.

- Hello, and you have no photographs of how everything was built here as a focus of knowledge and culture of our district? - Directly asked the head of Catherine from home 84: the eldest daughter of 18 years old in childhood was an honorary reader of the library, the youngest today was brought to modeling. Irina led Catherine to the stand with photographs from the history of the district. Past of the handsome Vitaly from the house opposite, who at the table with prescriptions taught his son to make a blot: “A year ago they remembered that there are libraries - every week you can’t buy a new child.” In the chess room, members of the Caiss club fought: “22 children, on weekends we have such tournaments here!”

“We grow the reader for ourselves,” Elena explained and led to show the children's hall, where the Chitaika club association is working twice a week - from two to five.

- And what are they reading now? I asked the head.

- Classics and the fact that by hearing is Rubin, Pelevin. Previously, fat magazines loved, but now we have very few periodics. And the books are expensive. Through the Central Department Store (the Central Library System - Ed.) About 2000 books per year come to us. We look at the price lists, write our wishes. Sometimes taken into account.

“Teenagers read poorly, I’ll honestly tell you,” Irina, who came up from the youth department, admitted to the library in Kommersant, and worked as an editor. - These are already computer people. Thanks to the schools, sometimes they arrive: “Give it faster, otherwise tomorrow, they take the classics, puff. But there are still guys who read. The most top authors are Andrey Zavalevsky and Evgenia Pasternak. Excellent publishing house "Pink Giraffe". They read Tamara Kryukova well. And so, mostly horror films and fantasy. The series of “Chessei” by Natalia Shcherba, Neil Gaiman, Harry Potter, Warriors are very popular. Adults are also increasingly going into fantasy - to take a break from reality. Still historical books are good. They follow the novelties, but they think that the book comes to us immediately after the release. And we get one copy.

“I waited six months when they read the new ruby. Grandmothers are usually “tormenting the flesh”. ”

- And the “stream of love” is still. For some reason, they always go in pairs, ”Marina added from the adult department: a former employee of the collapsed research institute and the current member of the Writers' Union.

“But this grandmother says to me:“ And what should I do, I have raised children, I live alone, ”Irina stood up for readers. - Here she was “tormenting the flesh” opened and happy. There are many elderly - people can no longer, due to their age, retreat to the "electronics". But, you know, more and more working young people have recently been recorded-maybe some kind of longing for a normal book. On the other hand, almost every day calls - parents die, children do not need library. We take new items - this is happiness for us. But we have small storage facilities, we often have to refuse.

“Sometimes we post such books on the door at the door, they disassemble it instantly,” Marina decided to finish the positively. - Recently, we have one local poet so the meeting of Dostoevsky grabbed. He asks: "Is it really possible to take?" Under the mouse - and run.

Tsao, or clogged in two floors evening

- I will wait in the corridor - I will choose a book in a bookcrossing for a summer house! -A middle-aged woman wrapped her friend, packed in an expensive bag of watercolor with Sakura-in the Turgenev library-reader, which is at the Turgenevskaya metro, the master class in painting has just ended. I also got into the corridor, talk to Nina: an economist, is interested in linguistics. - In the "Foreigner" you will only put a book in another language on the shelf - after an hour it is not, but here they take little, well.

Nina caught painting for a long time, but gambling - a huge demand, only two hours to record on the site. With regular events is simpler. Today, events in Turgenevskaya were in-stop: the night of museums. I have already attended the lecture “How to write about love” from the author of “Women of Lazarus” Marina Stepnova (clogged with editors, PR and other “while collecting material” by the audience) and talked with elegant young pensioners from new cherries who came to the concert “World of the Russian Manor” from the student Philharmonic KMTI them. Vishnevskaya. Students in the chic interiors of the past, dresses on the floor and tailcoats depicted live paintings and sang about love.

- How did you even learn about this concert? - with sincere surprise I asked the pensioners.

“Recently I was in the Dostoevsky library in the neighborhood - at Thomas Manne, I went here on the way home - take the program of the museums night,” Lidia Ivanovna seemed to her, it seemed to her. - I listened to Dostoevka and Ancient Greece. “Bogolyubovskaya” still really likes, there is a unique art critic.

On the next Monday, I went to Dostoevka, where, it seems, I found out why the pensioners chose to spend the Night in Turgenevka. Personally, I was flattered by the classics-after all, the night of museums. Monday at Moscow libraries - a day off. But, it turned out, there are rebels.

- We have meters here, and recently colleagues from the directorate asked: why do you have 120 people go on Monday? And we feel sorry for this day, we open for the book club and master class the Union of Student Media. After all, our evenings are scored in two floors, attendance - 300-400 people a day, ”Director Andrei Lisitsky explained to me and handed the“ program ”for the summer: a weighty kipa of A4 sheets, at least three events a day, there are six. I ran in June. Joint with the Russian society of young psychiatrists of the Lecture “The Psyche of the Megapolis” (“About the Mental Problems and Mental Health of the Citizens” - said Andrei), “Open University” by the Higher School of Urbanism, “Homer and His World” from the University of Dmitry Pozharsky, Spanish and Japanese conversational clubs, children's media massacre, and acting studio, historical chithes. Everything is within the framework of a concept inspired by the “metaphysics of the place” and “singer of city life” by Dostoevsky.

- Our library opened in 1907, but since then there is almost nothing left here, only the vase is wonderful. Where is the vase, by the way, went? - The director looked with his eyes on the shelves. - They did not break, I hope, as a result of their these ... Until now, after the “night” we collect the props in all the halls. Students prepared a performance on Gorin - they beat stories in different halls, the audience moved with actors until two in the morning ... In general, at one time we developed a concept and decided - we will be a "library in the Bolshoi City." Our interests are all regarding a resident of the metropolis: from Moscow studies and urbanism to psychology and culture. This is a meeting of members of the city communities - from travel lovers in the footsteps of Fedor Mikhailovich to local activists equipping the courtyard. - You can ask the question: what is all educational activity that has been related to the fund? - I decided to work on Monday and for me the director. - But we are following the path of creating collections in support of the “events”. The philosophers have already made a shelf - after our lecturer "Anatomy of Philosophy", which, incidentally, received the Golden Medal of the Russian Academy of Sciences for the popularization of science. And many visitors to the events are then returned as readers.

By the way, the Directorate does not require such intensive event activity. 80 % of events are free. Own extra -budget is also personal initiatives.

“People have already paid taxes once,” Andrei explained. - We earn a little on the set - we have a couple of episodes of “selfie” with Khabensky, with Malikov recently made a clip, frolic. On developing programs for children, such as the "League of Robots". Sometimes at paid lectures. But this is rare. Partners help. One of the main ones is the Higher School of Economics, we are practically their informal library. They are going to redeem very important books for us - they themselves would not have pulled. The issue price is 27 thousand dollars.

HSE’s interest can be understood. 85% of the library visitors are students.

“The libraries have traditionally been a place where people studied,” Andrei recalled. - Ray Bradbury wrote: "My peers went to universities, but I had no money, I went to the library and finished it after 5 years." Now, as a rule, people go to universities for diplomas, and they are forced to get the rest on the side. Education is also an atmosphere in which we cook. A boiler from a variety of people, between whom ideas suddenly slip, - I constantly observe it. After lunch, we are busy with every corner in the hall. More often work for computers - their own or ours.

- Do they read the “paper”? I asked.

“Yes, because now this is a sign of belonging to a certain elite community, club, intellectual lifestyle,” Andrei answered.

- The youth audience is not easy for us, and they like this belonging. We can not always satisfy their requests.

The leaders of the requests for May were instantly thrown to me by mail (“For a week, month, year?” The employee previously specified. It seems that I calculated the main abusive word of the modern librarian - “reporting”). The fund has: “whisper in the dark” Stefani Merrit, “The whisper of the king” Arturo Perezherte, “Jacques and His Lord” by Milan Kunder. There is no: “Rain in Paris” by Roman Senchin, “Shpakovsky’s hat” Andrei hairs, “What will happen to us then?” Berty Landau.

In the early morning of Thursday, after listening to the discussion about the future of Turkey as a whole and Erdogan in particular, as well as reinforced with cheesecakes and a sandwich with a Servel, as part of a traditional business trip from the Russian Council for International Affairs, I finally got to difficult youth. The red-formal Maria (Institute for the Russian Academy of Sciences) and the Strict Coastum Javus (a native of Turkey, the Dipacademy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation) expected the rack with the history of Russia the opportunity to personally talk with the expert. There was a queue for the expert. Over my question, whether they go to the libraries in addition to “specialized” events, Maria and Javus laughed for a long time.

- Yes, we live there! - Maria rolled her eyes. - Usually in Turgenevskaya, Nekrasovka and Lenin. Here I wrote a coursework. But in Turgenevka there are still more places, and in Lenin there are a huge number of sources.

Then I had a dark -skinned guy - he went directly to the fund from the discussion, with a book under his arm.

- Do you know where Jibuti? Honestly? - the student of the Institute of Management and Marketing of the RANEPAS was sincerely surprised and, it seems, immediately fell in love with me. “I want to take the opportunity to read the books, because without additional development of myself you will not achieve significant success,” “made” in the ornate Russian of some of my friends Muscovites Ahmed. - They stood with a friend, looked at the books - I saw in English, and now I am developing my potential. It’s a pity, I live far, I would live here.

Then they and the pretty Darek from Macedonia continue to achieve success in international relations, by huge windows, which were reflected in girls from the State University of Management. However, the girls were not up to the guys - a diploma shook on the screen of laptops.

The brunette Christine (Faculty of Russian-Chinese management) “Turgenevka”, unlike Mary, did not attract-officials.

“Here is more young, relaxed, plus a color scheme, design,” Christina squinted at the laconic white walls, I am to the book by Murakami by the laptop. “I am interested in Japanese literature,” she confirmed. - I took it home to read.

Something at the “after the session” has already looked at the future historian Yana from the MPSU-of course, “in paper”.

- I love the Russian classics of the 19th century - Tolstoy, Dostoevsky. From the 20th-Brodsky, Pelevin,-Yana listed her personal requests in an almost transparent voice. The university library did not fit: - In the interiors of the Soviet type, it is boring and I want to sleep. And if a pleasant interior, wi-fi, falls out the window of the light,-the girl looked dreamily at the pond. - And most importantly - there are always a lot of people here. You look at them, and you want to do more and more, and this is very cool, - suddenly blossomed in a smile, and for the first time in a long time I wanted to hug a student and cry. And also sign up for the library. For Vavilov is dear to Vavilov, but for some reason it is also drawn to Dostoevsky now.
