For example, you can find out which building houses works by Pushkin, translated into ten foreign languages, where a sound library is, musical room, music room, where visitors can play the piano. Also on the map will be given answers by simple “user” questions - for example, where a free zone Wi-Fi is, where you can come with your laptop, if you can recharge your phone or get a bibliographic reference to the book and etc.
