A unique exhibition "Books as a Gift to the President" has opened at the V. I. Lenin Vitebsk Regional Library
- During official visits and business meetings, the head of state is often presented with book publications. He has donated over 160 items from his personal collection to the Presidential Library. Some of them are showcased at this exhibition," said the director of the regional library, Tatyana Adamyan.
The exhibition includes books on various topics: world history, fiction, art, spiritual heritage, economics, science, and sports.
At the exhibition, visitors can find books about the Great Patriotic War and genocide. They can also explore the elite 4-volume reissue of the memoirs and reflections of the legendary Marshal Georgy Zhukov.
Photo albums showcase art from painting to architecture, including "Pavlovsk. Artistic Collections," "Russian Landscape Painting," and "Suburban Imperial Residences: Weekdays, Holidays, Tragedies."
Among the exhibition items are information-rich, colorfully designed publications detailing the cultural and natural wealth of China and Brazil. The unique books from China are interesting in their design (pages folded like an accordion) and content.
The books on display are unique not only in their content but also in their design. They represent significant achievements in design and printing culture. The publications are of high quality, well-illustrated, and some come with special gift packaging, boxes, and dust jackets.
- The value and uniqueness of many books are enhanced by the autographs and dedication inscriptions they contain. Such an extensive collection eloquently testifies to the scale of official and public diplomacy of sovereign Belarus," shared her opinion the head of the marketing and socio-cultural activities department, Yulia Vailunova-Shinkevich.
The exhibition is open until November 25.
