April 25, 2022:
The National Library of Karelia completed the Decade of Health, dedicated to the World Health Day. It has become another contribution of the library and its partners in improving health literacy and the responsible attitude of the population to their own health!
The events of the Decade are focused on different categories of the population, but the main part on young people. Library specialists talked about what one person or institution can do in the field of health preservation, and how they can do much more by uniting. They found out why a library card, library services and technologies are health saving, how the library takes care of maintaining the environment and the psychological comfort of a reader.
Book exhibitions have become an obligatory item of events. They were not trivial either. Students learned about valuable publications: rarities and modern books, publications for special readers and educational literature on the formation of a healthy lifestyle.
The exhibition Common Sense was based on materials of literary awards, which popularize knowledge in the field of natural sciences, medicine, healthy lifestyle and health culture.
The stand Viruses as Evolution Drivers presented popular science publications about deadly viruses, epidemics and the heroic history of the creation of vaccines. Some of these publications are included in the lists of participants in educational awards and are also recognized by library readers.
