This is a rural library branch in the village of Novosilky. The population of the village is about 1500 people. Visitors to the library are children, adults, and the elderly. However, the library’s collection is very poor, so there is no almost no choice of what to read, and as a result, the library is losing its readers since it cannot offer anything new and fascinating.
Books at the Novosilky library
As of January 01, 2022, the collection consisted of 4614 items, including 3490 books. In 2022-2023, 978 copies were withdrawn, while only 11 were received. The library lacks books from the school literature curriculum, children’s books, such as primers and other educational books for children. There is a demand for contemporary Ukrainian and foreign literature. The library tries to attract as many locals as possible to the library, however, without a sufficient number of books, it is almost impossible to accomplish.
