Light and spacious halls and living rooms, decorated with stucco and columns, are unique venues for intellectual leisure, self-education, and creativity. Every day, lectures, concerts, exhibitions, performances, creative meetings with artists and cultural figures, quests, etc. are held for library readers.
For young readers, entertaining master classes are organized as part of the Family Environment program. Older visitors can take part in the events of the Silver Age project.
Two sectors operate on the basis of the library: Lermontov: Heritage, aimed at preserving and popularizing the work of Mikhail Lermontov. The Open Living Room is an ultra-modern, creative and democratic space for cultural recreation, aimed at a youth audience.
The library offers its visitors a rich and up-to-date book collection of over 100,000 copies, access to full-text databases, information systems and LitRes.
In addition, here you can always inexpensively print and make copies of documents, laminate images and get all the necessary office services.
