On January 11 - the Day of Nature Reserves and National Parks, Chelyabinsk libraries opened the Year of Ecology in Russian Federation And invited residents and guests of the city to a free eco-tour “World of Nature Reserves”.
Throughout January, libraries held virtual walks through nature reserves and national parks of Russia and the Southern Urals, because... 2017 is also the Year of Specially Protected Natural Areas, environmental lessons, days and hours of information, eco-actions, book exhibitions and painting vernissages.
IN library no. 31 arranged photo-exhibition “The World of Protected Nature of the Urals”, photo vernissage “7 Wonders of the World in the Urals”, exhibitions of paintings “The Colors of the Native Land”, Hour of Eco-Culture “Let’s Throw Nature a Lifebuoy”, “Nature’s Fragile Breath”. Every day in the library from 12:00 to 13:00 there is an hour of musical relaxation “Music of Nature”.
“Saving the world is, of course, the lot of super heroes, but Library No. 31, together with its readers, tried to take a small step towards saving our planet in the year of ecology. To attract the public to the problem of recycling batteries and improve the environmental culture of citizens, the library organized information campaign “Donate your battery - save the planet!”"- said the head of library No. 31 Natalya Apalikova.
The library has prepared an information stand for the event, which tells about the destructive effects of batteries if they are disposed of incorrectly. Librarians conduct daily eco-conversations with visitors on the topic of proper disposal of batteries, telling that one AA battery, thrown into the trash, pollutes about 20 square meters of land with heavy metals, and in the forest zone this is the habitat of two trees, two moles, one hedgehog and several thousand earthworms!
Not all city residents know that batteries contain many different metals - mercury, nickel, cadmium, lead, lithium, manganese and zinc, which tend to accumulate in living organisms, including the human body, and cause significant harm to our health .
A battery carelessly thrown into the trash ends up in a landfill, where every summer it ignites and smolders along with other garbage, releasing clouds of dioxins with clouds of smoke (these are global ecotoxicants with powerful mutagenic, immunosuppressant, and carcinogenic effects). They can enter our body not only with smoke, but with rainwater they also enter the soil, water and plants. Further, along the chain, straight to our table with food and drink.
Librarians explain to readers that every environmentally conscious inhabitant of the planet who is concerned about environmental problems can improve it, and introduce them to “environmental tips for every day.”
With its action, the library encourages citizens to return used batteries to official collection points.
Remember that we ourselves are able to influence our future and make our lives safer!
Even the next meeting of the Soyuz housing and communal services club in the library ended with a discussion of environmental issues. Librarians conducted for those present hour of ecoculture “Let’s throw a lifeline to nature”. Residents of the area agreed with librarian Elena Nikolaevna that the history of mankind is inextricably linked with the history of nature. On modern stage issues of its traditional interaction with humans have grown into a global environmental problem. If people do not learn to take care of nature in the near future, they will destroy themselves. And for this we need to cultivate environmental culture and responsibility. The librarians spoke about the library’s information campaign “Donate a battery - save the planet!”, introduced interesting facts from the life of animals based on materials from the eco-quilt “Read - learn about the world!”.
At the end of the meeting, everyone took a walk through specially protected areas. natural areas and national parks of the Chelyabinsk region, thanks to the unusual exhibition - photo drying "The World of Protected Nature of the Urals".

To the Barguzin State Natural Biosphere Reserve, which turned 100 years old this year. The first nature reserve in Russia is located in the Republic of Buryatia, including part of the waters of Lake Baikal. Its total area is 374,322 hectares. It is unique, first of all, for its pristine nature and is known thanks to the famous Barguzin sable, which almost disappeared by the beginning of the 20th century and was subsequently restored.

To the famous "Arkaim" - a branch of the Ilmensky Nature Reserve. Ancient city Arkaim, located in the Chelyabinsk region, is a real secret of the distant history of mankind. On Mount Shamanka, tourists love to watch sunsets and sunrises. At the top there is a stone spiral of 13 circles. They say that if you walk along a spiral barefoot and make a wish, it will certainly come true. In Arkaim you can get acquainted with other mountains: Love, Reason, Happiness, Visions, Repentance. Each mountain has its own legends.
The children took part in a quiz game on ecology. The questions were difficult: on waste disposal, water purification, harmful substances, pollution environment etc. For example, “Most of the garbage that pollutes the Earth is ... (plastic)”; A plastic bottle or jar thrown in the forest will remain unchanged... (100 years or more); “Garbology is... (the science of garbage).”
“In the game “With Love for Nature,” two teams received their own envelope with tasks on cards. Then the players had to quickly formulate wordings of environmental concepts from letters.

Third grade students of Zarechenskaya secondary school ( classroom teacher Avetisyan T.V.), as well as other little readers, gathered to talk and learn more about the problems that humanity faces in how to preserve nature, and therefore their lives on Earth. Then the event continued with the environmental KVN “Connoisseurs of Nature”.
Three teams of three people each were selected to conduct KVN. The first team was called “Brown Bears”, the second was “Tulips”, and the third was “Fast Lynxes”. Competition program consisted of several competitions: “Greeting”, “Warm-up”, “Mailbox”, “Ecological drawing”, “Recognize the animal by description”, “Pantomime”, “Ecological tasks” and “Blitz tournament”. Each competition is a test of knowledge, clarifying the children’s position on important environmental issues. After all, protecting life on earth begins with small things: an unextinguished fire in the forest, garbage thrown out on the street. This is all destroying nature.
During the warm-up, the teams set a high pace of work, which was maintained throughout the game. The rivalry between the teams was “intense”; there was a fight for every point. The most memorable and expressive was the Pantomime competition, in which teams portrayed an animal and their opponents guessed them.
The Brown Bears team won the environmental game. And the most knowledgeable of the guys turned out to be Stepan Ivanenko, Evgeniy Koryakin, Amina Aldieva and a reader from the first grade, Mikhail Maslov. The children were interested in demonstrating their knowledge, skills, abilities, testing themselves and discovering new things. At the end of the event, the children were asked to write a wish to nature on a “birch” leaf and hang it on the “Wish Tree” that “grew” in the library.
Nature is our home, common to all people, without which we cannot live. Inside this house, everything is very closely connected: animals with other animals and plants, and all together with the gentle sun, earth, water, and man. If we break these connections, everything will begin to collapse, and to prevent this from happening, we must know and follow the laws of ecology.
Libraries of the Toguchinsky district perform the most important function of environmental education of the population, the younger generation and conduct various forms of events.

“Take care of your health from a young age”
On December 6, at the Rainbow Children's Ecological Library, as part of the interdepartmental operation “Healthy Generation,” the event “Take care of your health from a young age” was held.
The children listened to a review of books from the thematic exhibition “A healthy mind in a healthy body.”
Maria Vladimirovna, a specialist from the Pskov Region State Budgetary Healthcare Institution "Regional Center for Medical Prevention" spoke about the basics healthy eating. The children learned that proper nutrition is one of the most important factors influencing overall health status, and a proper diet is necessary for the treatment of various diseases.
The guys had a lot of questions for the specialist: why does everyone say that chips and cola are harmful; how many times a day should you eat to be slim and healthy; Is it possible to have dinner after 18 o'clock; Why is fasting dangerous? where does excess weight come from and how to deal with it.
The event ended with a small quest, during which the children had to assemble their own “healthy food basket” from the proposed food options.
All event participants received a “Nutrition Pyramid” memo, which provides a diagrammatic representation of the principles of daily healthy eating developed by nutritionists, and practical advice on how to create your ideal diet.
“To health with a book”
From November 19 to 21, in the Rainbow Children's Ecological Library, as part of the municipal program “Development of Education and Improving the Efficiency of Youth Policy,” a series of events “To Health with a Book” was held, which was dedicated to healthy image life, the ability to overcome difficulties, seek inspiration and cultivate a worthy character.
On November 19, a bibliographic review “Books that inspire us” took place.
The children got acquainted with the books presented at the exhibition “JUST DU IT!” The review of Daniel Defoe's book "Robinson Crusoe" aroused the greatest interest. Few people know that Daniel Defoe based the book on real story, which happened to Alexander Selkirk, who spent 4 years on the uninhabited island of the Juan Fernandez archipelago.
The loud reading of an excerpt from Frances Eliza Burnett’s book “The Little Princess” evoked a great response and sympathy for the main character from all those present. The guys realized that you can be kind and responsive to the grief of others, even if it’s very difficult for you yourself. The main thing is to look for the positive sides in everything and not to despair.
The event participants really liked the video excerpt dedicated to James Bowen’s book “Bob the Extraordinary Cat.” The story of street musician James and his friendship with a cat named Bob left no one indifferent.
The guys also tried their hand at a creative task - they composed a syncwine with the word “LIFE”.
On November 20, as part of the “Life in the style of dance” event, a meeting was held with a teacher of the “breaking” dance direction from the Pskov hip-hop school “Mouth More Than More Than More.” The guest of the event, Ivan, told how the hip-hop movement was born and what moral values are valued in it. According to Ivan, hip-hop teaches how to resolve all conflicts peacefully, through dance battles (competitions) or by finding out who is the best graffiti artist or MC (master of ceremonies). Hip-hop teaches you to value friendship, set specific goals for yourself, achieve them, but at the same time respect other people's hobbies, no matter how strange they may be. And in hip-hop it is important to love your passion and strive to develop in the right direction. Ivan concluded his story with a small master class for library readers.
And of course, the guests enjoyed a review of books from the exhibition “JUST DU IT!”
The series of events ended on November 21 with the “Watch and Be Inspired” video lounge.
This was a small mix of the review best books from the exhibition and watching inspiring clips and videos that give the desire to lead a healthy Lifestyle, play sports or at least do exercises. The guys saw the performance of Sofia Boutella, one of the most professional dancers in the world. After discussing this video, the guys came to the conclusion that sport teaches not to give up and always go towards your goal. This was confirmed by the trailer for the film “Dancer” directed by Luc Besson, about a mute girl whose dream of dancing on Broadway came true after many years of hard work.
An excerpt from the film “Only the Strong” introduced the children to the Brazilian martial art of capoeira, which not only does not carry any aggression, but also looks like a beautiful dance. I completed the video living room with a video showing the usual morning exercises done by a yoga instructor. The guys were amazed at what the human body can be capable of. In the discussion, they also concluded that playing sports requires enormous discipline, and helps to form a strong character, because it’s not easy to force yourself to do at least a few exercises every day.
We hope that this series of events has left its mark on the hearts and minds of the younger generation and inspired them to set big goals for themselves and achieve them, without losing hope and always hoping for success, as the heroes of books and videos did.
Week of kindness
From November 16 to 21, the “Week of Kindness” was held at the Rainbow Children's Ecological Library, each day of which traditionally had its own theme.
IN Open Hearts Day“Lessons in Kindness and Politeness” took place - loud readings with a discussion of Sofia Prokofieva’s book “Masha and Oika”.
Little readers listened carefully to the story from the book “The Tale about the rude word GO AWAY.” The word “GO AWAY” turned out to be magical, but it was not a good magic, not a good one. Because of him, even the sun hid from everyone, and evil wolves appeared. In order to bring back the sun and drive away the wolves, Oika had to say another magic word - what do you think? That's right, the word "SORRY"! And then there was a conversation about what other magic words the guys know. Children played various games where they had to complete tasks only if the request included Magic word, guessed riddles about polite and good words, got acquainted with other books about politeness and kindness presented at the exhibition. The guys also did a wonderful collective work called “Tree of Friendship.”
IN Reader's Day readers were able to get acquainted with the virtual exhibition “JUST DOIT: Books that inspire us,” which presented positive inspiring stories that improve mood, help find motivation and teach you to look at familiar things from an unusual angle.
On Good Deeds Day, library readers were in for a pleasant surprise - it became the day of forgiven books.

We invite you to the photo exhibition “Under the Umbrella”
On November 21, the opening of the photo exhibition “Under the Umbrella” took place at the Rainbow Children's Ecological Library.
The exhibition takes place as part of the All-Russian Kindness Week, an inter-library event in which thousands of Russian libraries participate. The campaign is aimed at the spiritual and moral development of the individual and includes 5 thematic days.
On the day of responsibility, library staff, photographers and models who worked on the exhibition, as well as employees of the regional council of trade unions invited all guests of the event to pay attention to the environmental problems of our city.
The event opened with a performance by saxophonist Alexei Negin, who performed “I Know Why” from the film “Sun Valley Serenade” by Glen Miller.
Then Elina Kalinina, head of the “View of Generations” project, spoke about how the work on the exhibition proceeded. It took three summer months to prepare, during which plots, costumes were thought out, and filming took place (both outside the city and in recognizable places in our city).
The main goal of the photo exhibition “Under the Umbrella” is to attract the attention of the authorities and the public to the problem of the spread of hogweed in the Pskov region.
“We were largely inspired to implement the new project by the feedback from visitors to the Pit Photo Hunt exhibition, who encouraged us to develop a critical view of the problems of the region. And we realized that the situation with the spread of hogweed in our country is actually in second place after the condition of the roads,” said Elina Kalinina.
The works take viewers to a near fantastic future, when the plant has spread so much that there are no places left to rest without hogweed. In addition, the plant began to emit toxic fumes, due to which people are forced to use products that protect not only the skin, but also the respiratory system.
The exhibition was worked on by amateur photographers from 17 to 35 years old and from 55 years old and older, members of the Contrast club, operating on the basis of the Pskov regional professional association. Curator of the photo club - Alexander Kalinin.
The youngest fashion model, a reader of our library, also spoke about the work on the exhibition. According to Polina Pastukhova, she never expected to see herself in the photographs in the library, but it’s very cool that they appeared here, and she will be happy to take part in such projects in the future. Other models and photographers also spoke about their work on the exhibition. At the end of the official part of the event, Dmitry Andreev, head of the hydrochemical laboratory of the Pskov regional trade union council, spoke about the problem of the spread of hogweed in our region, what harm contact with this plant can cause to health, and what safety measures need to be taken to protect against Sosnovsky hogweed. He also handed over to all participants the booklets “Our goal is hogweed,” prepared by the obolsovprof staff.
This exhibition was on display in the library throughout the “Week of Goodness,” and during all this time there was not a single visitor whom it left indifferent. Little readers do not always immediately understand the idea that the authors wanted to convey, they have to explain, tell, the children listen and nod understandingly, and begin to think. The photographs do not leave the older guys indifferent either. Even the grandmothers of our little readers stop, think, and say, “God forbid!”
The creators of the exhibition managed to do much more than just draw attention to the problem of the spread of hogweed; it makes you think about environmental problems and environmental pollution in general.
You can get acquainted with the exhibition until December 21 at the Rainbow Children's Ecological Library at the address: Pskov, st. Novoselov 11, telephone for inquiries: 53-68-63.

For the wards of the Pskov organization “Zoozashchita” - stray cats and dogs - library readers and simply caring citizens brought animal food, toilets, bedding, medicine, leashes and collars, in short, everything that our little brothers needed.
During the event, two thematic exhibitions were organized within the library. The exhibition “Their Life is in Our Hands” introduced readers to literature on the care, education and training of pets. The exhibition “The Power of Thought” featured works of art in which animals “have the right to vote,” i.e. share their thoughts, feelings, experiences with readers, give advice, are happy or sad just like people.
On August 16, the library hosted the final event of the action, which was held in a mixed format - there was a loud reading of a touching story about a dog named Happiness, and a master class on creating a stand - a collage “We are responsible for those we have tamed”: the guys cut out images of cats and dogs they liked and came up with ideas for them funny phrases– what is the animal in the picture thinking about?
The discussion of the story smoothly turned into an exchange of personal stories about pets - one of the participants told how she took care of an abandoned newborn kitten, and now it is a full-fledged and beloved member of her family.
After the completion of the master class, the open cinema hall began its work - the film “ Way home", based on Sheila Beiserdorf's story "The Incredible Journey" about the touching friendship of children and their pets - two dogs and a cat.
All donations collected during the event were transferred to the curator of the Zooprotection organization.
"Book Workshop" for young readers
Every year, the “Book Workshop” opens for young readers at the Rainbow Children's Ecological Library. The next workshop session took place on August 8th. This time, the children learned what an “art book” is (a collection of images and illustrations collected in the form of an album under one cover; in another meaning, “art book” is a book made by hand and illustrated with one’s own hand) and became acquainted with the technology of making an artist’s book (so otherwise called an art book).
Readers looked at the amazing book-albums with delight, admiring their wonderful design. And then the magic ball led readers into a fairy-tale world and introduced them to S. Aksakov’s fairy tale “The Scarlet Flower,” which turns 160 this year. Of course, the children easily remembered the plot and characters of the fairy tale. And directly at the master class, each participant himself made an illustration with his favorite characters from “The Scarlet Flower,” thus laying the foundation for his own art book based on the fairy tale.
All guests of our master class took an active part in the event and expressed a desire to attend similar events for further acquaintance with the amazing world of books.
City Day at the Library
Children's environmental library "Rainbow" was again glad to see its readers at the event “My Pskov, old voivode” dedicated to City Day. The staged performance introduced guests to the historical past of our ancient Pskov, which turned 1115 years old this year. The children learned why Pskov is called a voivode, how the fortress walls were built, and what kind of enemy sieges the Pskovites had to withstand.
The book exhibition “My Pskov, Old Voivode” introduced readers to local history literature dedicated to the military-historical past of Pskov. Our young readers read poems by poets - winners of the city creative competition“Poetic debut” (2017), published in the collection “Hello, new Pskov!”
Then the guests and readers of the library took part in Interregional campaign “Unlimited Reading”, which was held in preparation for the International Hanseatic Days in Pskov.
Acquaintance with the book of Pskov author Nadezhda Valner “Mr. Pskov”, dramatization of individual historical events reading the book allowed readers to more clearly imagine what a large trading city medieval Pskov was. The children learned what the Hansa was, what Russian cities were part of Hanseatic League, what is the importance of holding the International Hansa in Pskov in 2019.
Interactive games “Pskov Alphabet”, “Memory” and “Bird’s Eye View” supplemented the event with exciting tasks and expanded readers’ knowledge about their hometown.
Virtual trip “Keepers guarding the ecological order”
On June 19, the “Rainbow” Children's Ecological Library hosted a virtual trip “Keepers guarding the ecological order.”
The children met the heroes of the books - the guardians Leda, Khrul, Dubynya, Veliyar and Malasha.
These amazing magical creatures live in the books of children's writer Elena Zurek. Each book is dedicated to some environmental problem: for example, forest fires, pollution of forests and rivers, illiterate human behavior in nature.
The children got acquainted with the books at the exhibition, then, together with the guards, they learned to protect the forest from fire by playing the game “Flammable-non-flammable”. In the game “Friend of the Forest” they learned to make friends with forest inhabitants, and in the “Sorting” competition they learned how to sort garbage. The children saw what useful things can be made from used things - from a pencil holder made from a plastic bottle to paving slabs from plastic bags and sand.
The reward for active participation in games and competitions for participants was the presentation certificate of honor and watching the environmental cartoon “Leo and Tig. Red deer."
Festive program
“This summer is not for boredom if you have picked up a book”
On June 1, the Rainbow Children's Ecological Library hosted festive program“This summer is not for boredom if you have picked up a book.”
Young library readers took part in the event. In the first part of the event, a presentation was made for them summer program“VISA for Summer”, children got acquainted with the announcement of events that they can attend during the summer months, and also listened to a review of new book releases presented at the exhibition “Passionate about reading convey impressions”.
Then the little readers took a magic basket with them and went into the book forest.
To fill the basket, the children had to work hard: remember the names book heroes, continue poems, guess fairy tales from pictures, put together a fairytale puzzle and even sing in a special book karaoke. But they coped with the tasks perfectly and collected a whole basket of good, interesting, fascinating and educational books.
The program ended with a mini-concert, which Svetlana Nikolaevna Titova, a permanent friend and library assistant, helped organize, and an impromptu costume performance.
May this summer bring our readers a sea of new impressions, sunny days and interesting books!
"Pages Written with Steel and Fire"
On May 7, the Rainbow Children's Ecological Library welcomed its young readers in the literary and musical lounge “Pages Written with Steel and Fire,” dedicated to the poets and front-line writers of the Great Patriotic War.
73 years separate us from May 9, 1945. But time has not diminished interest in this topic, drawing the attention of today’s generation to the distant front-line years, to the origins of the feat and courage of the Soviet soldier.
It is difficult to overestimate the writer's word on the war and about the war. An apt and striking word, a poem, a song, a ditty, a bright heroic image of a fighter or commander - they inspired warriors to exploits and led them to victory. These words are still full of patriotic resonance today; they poeticize service to the Motherland and affirm the beauty and greatness of our moral values. That is why we return again and again to the works that made up the golden fund of literature about the Great Patriotic War.
Young readers got acquainted with unique collections of the best works of art, which contain outstanding artistic journalism, high examples of military poetry, the best stories, excerpts from novels and stories that have received nationwide recognition. Getting acquainted with a whole generation of front-line writers, such as Boris Vasiliev, Viktor Astafiev, Yulia Drunina, Bulat Okudzhava, Vasil Bykov and others, the guys learned about their difficult fate during the war.
The guys got acquainted with the work of Pskov front-line writers who went through thunderous military everyday life, Vasily Ivanovich Brave, Nikolai Andreevich Popov and Mikhail Pavlovich Alexandrov.
The children’s heartfelt reading of poetry, listening to songs and the soundtrack to V. Vysotsky’s poems “The Ballad of Struggle” made listeners think about the meaning of Victory Day for our country.
"Love and Other Medicines"
On April 26, the “Love and Other Medicines” event was held at the Rainbow Children’s Ecological Library as part of the interregional charity event “Boat of Kindness.”
The organizer of the action is the municipal state-financed organization culture of the city of Samara "Centralized system of children's libraries."
The event was attended by students of the Center for Curative Pedagogy of Differentiated Education in the Pskov Region.
A presentation was held for our readers virtual exhibition"Love and Other Medicines" Each book in this exhibition talks about kindness, humanity, how important it is to be attentive to the people around you, to maintain faith in goodness and not to give in to despondency. This and much more is discussed in the books presented at the exhibition. To give our guests a more complete understanding of how the theme of goodness is revealed in books, the host of the event read for them an excerpt from the book “The Little Princess” by Frances Eliza Burnett, after which the children were offered an excerpt from the film - an adaptation of this book. Each child expressed their feelings and impressions about the book.
The guys, together with the presenter, formed main idea- in all the books and in the passage I heard - “You don’t need to talk much about goodness, you just need to do goodness. But for this you need to be able to distinguish good from evil, and books are very important helpers in this.”
As part of the “Boat of Kindness” charity event, the children were given books donated by our readers.
In conclusion, the children underwent a short training “The Web of Goodness”, which has already become a good tradition at meetings in the library with special children.
See you again at the Rainbow Library! We wish the best to all readers!
