Proper reading of books is the path to unique knowledge, which allows a person to move forward and improve both creatively and spiritually. On February 1, the READx project continued its work.

On the agenda is the work of Chingiz Aitmatov. Soviet and Kyrgyz writer, whose work for his people is comparable in its significance to the folk epic “Manas”.

This is what the Kyrgyz say: the first millennium passed under the sign of the heroic story of a great warrior, the second – under the sign of Chingiz Aitmatov. The prose writer made a great contribution to the development of the culture of Turkic-speaking peoples. Today, the “READx” speaker, Doctor of Philology Zhanna Tolysbaeva, analyzed and presented the famous works of the writer: “The Scaffold”, “Manas”, “The White Steamship” and others. After getting acquainted with the work of Chingiz Torekulovich, the site participants asked questions with interest, actively immersing themselves in the world of literature.

At the Kazakh National Academy of Choreography, the “READx” project has been carried out for several years now, and has become a kind of tradition that in an easy way makes it possible to introduce students to reading.

The main goal is to popularize reading and promote fiction. Recently, young people read very little, perhaps this is the spirit of the times, but now they get information from social networks, and the relevance of printed literature is falling.

After the completion of the next “READx”, we are seeing a positive trend, the number of new readers is increasing. They mainly show interest in the literature presented on the READx platform. This once again confirms the effectiveness of this project, shared library specialist Aigul Sapargalieva.

Today, the library collection of the Kazakh National Academy of Choreography contains about 53 thousand copies of books.
