The first specialized agricultural library will be opened in Chuvashia. A new space is being organized on the basis of the Parkhikasinsky rural library of the Cheboksary region. The Head of the Republic Oleg Nikolaev spoke about this at the weekly planning meeting, reports official website of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Chuvash Republic.
“Six applications from Chuvashia won in the All-Russian competitive selection for the creation of model municipal libraries under the national project "Culture". One of them is to create an agro-library. Funds for the implementation will be provided from the federal budget in 2023,” the Minister of Culture, Nationalities and Archives of the Republic Svetlana Kalikova reported.
In the new cultural and educational space, an information and consulting center for vocational guidance of rural youth will be created, and the project “My Choice is Agriculture” will be implemented, within the framework of which the youth school for vocational guidance “Agro Generation” and the club for the youngest readers “Agrarikum” will start operating.
“The emergence of an agrolibrary is a new step in raising the prestige of agricultural professions, attracting the attention of young people to this industry. We are ready to assist in the educational process: if there is a need, we will organize meetings for children with experienced farmers, we will introduce them to work in the fields and in agricultural production,” said Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Agriculture of Chuvashia Sergei Artamonov.
