The “pragmatist of culture” in the person of her two correspondents went to the provincial library. To begin with, not so far from Moscow - to Tver and Torzhok. Especially for our arrival in the Tver City Library, directors and employees of the main city libraries - university , children's, regional , medical, existing at the Tver Medical Academy , and the library for the blind were gathered. We talked about what a library is in the province, who comes to it and why, finally, what it lives for.
