The regional center of the Presidential Library, running on the basis of the Lermontov Penza Regional Library, launched a book exhibition timed to the 465th anniversary of the creation of the Moscow Printing Yard - the first domestic printing house. The presented materials detail its history.

The exhibition, arranged by the members of the electronic reading room of the Presidential Library, covers research and popular books of different years of issue. Of particular interest is the Illustrated History of Printing and Printing Art by I. F. Bulgakov, published in 1889.
