The action was initiated by Russian journal Modern Library and Marina Volkova's publishing house (Chelyabinsk). This action was attended by 187 libraries in Russia. Within a several months participants on the Internet via blogs, websites, groups on social networks and e-mail were passing to each other the baton, and the finish of this marathon was scheduled for the 1st of March. By this day the National Library of the Republic of Karelia had prepared a comprehensive program.
On the morning of the 1st of March the mobile library of the National Library came to the Home for the Elderly. These visits have already become commonplace. Every week the mobile library gives people who live in this Home an opportunity to borrow and order books.
This time specialists of the Library have organized an interactive program in the framework of the Meow-marathon. People answered quiz questions, sang songs and even were doing exercises.
In the evening the Meow-marathon continued in the National Library. Here our young guests were reading poems, dancing, painting on the wall, paper and faces. There were several creative laboratories in the library. Each participant could be a viewer, an artist and even a showpiece. The evening began with a puppet play Who Said Meow based on the fairy tale by V. Suteev. There was a concert in the Library where performed soloists of the Karelian State Philharmonic and children from the Children's ballet studio of the Music Theatre of the Republic of Karelia.
All participants of the program got books, souvenirs and positive emotions. In the library there was an exhibition from the private collection “Porcelain cats of Rose Mary Benedict. Austria”.
