Honorary citizens of the Tosnensky district visited the Presidential Library

On March 29, 2024, honorary citizens of the municipal formation Tosnensky district of Leningrad Region went on an excursion to the Presidential Library, and then held a council meeting at which they discussed the development of the library network of the Tosnensky district, as well as possible areas of cooperation with the country’s largest electronic national library.

The council of honorary citizens of the municipal formation Tosnensky district of Leningrad Region is headed by Ivan Filippovich Khabarov, who is also an Honorary citizen of Leningrad region.

On behalf of Director General of the Presidential Library, the director of the department for scientific and educational work, Igor Viktorovich Solonko, greeted the honorary citizens.

As part of the tour of the Presidential Library, guests saw the restored interiors of the Holy Synod, as well as the columned hall and multimedia transforming hall, equipped with modern equipment, created for all-Russian and international events, learned about the exhibition displays and visited the Constitution Hall, where the only copy of the Constitution is located, where the president of the country takes the oath upon taking office.

In the electronic reading room, visitors were told about how to deal with the resources of the Presidential Library, how the collection on the history of Russian statehood is formed and what digitized materials are presented in it. The library's collections, which exceed a million depository items, contains books and periodicals, newsreels, photographs, scientific and educational films, dissertation abstracts, archival documents and materials on the history of Russian statehood, the theory and practice of law, and the Russian language in digital form.
