Every school in the world has a treasured office, the main “filling” of which is not stylish furniture or modern technology, but books. We are, of course, talking about the school library. Both teachers and students turn to the services of a specialist working within its framework - a school librarian - every day. Interestingly, there is a global holiday dedicated to libraries educational institutions. Let's find out more about him!
Information about the holiday
The celebration we are interested in is called International Day school libraries. It was first celebrated in 1999. The initiators of the establishment of such a holiday were representatives of UNESCO. The time of the socially significant event is always the same and falls on the fourth Monday of the average autumn month.
The fact that the new date was included in the calendar was announced at the appropriate moment by Blanche Woolles, the man who at that time held the position of president of the ASL (International Association of School Libraries). The official status of the holiday was given 6 years later, in 2005, as announced by Peter Jenko, who replaced the previously mentioned Blanche Woolles as president of the said association.
Two more years have passed, and International School Library Day has turned from a one-time annual event into a month-long event. Employees of “book depositories” in educational institutions talk about this innovation different countries supporters of the project learned from the coordinator of the festive event, Rick Mulholland. The motto of the first October month of social significance was: “Literacy and learning in your school library.” It is noteworthy that in order to hold a specific holiday, school librarians were not required to follow any strict regulations: it was enough to choose one day in the specified autumn month at their discretion to organize a thematic event. However, many responded to this initiative with remarkable enthusiasm, as a result devoting a week of their time to International School Library Day.
What is the situation with the holiday in our country? Russian schools joined the School Library Month relatively recently - only in 2008. It was then that this wonderful, useful action was organized and carried out. Its motto was a wonderful phrase: “The school library is on the agenda.” Within the framework of the national month, in most Russian schools a variety of events took place: exhibitions, competitions, seminars, conferences, presentations and librarians’ congresses.
The history of the school library
Such a structural unit of an educational institution as a school library appeared at the end of the 17th century. This happened thanks to the efforts of Muscovites, who repeatedly submitted relevant petitions and petitions to higher authorities.
School libraries were the first to appear in prestigious educational institutions - gymnasiums, colleges and cadet corps. Gradually, this process spread to middle and lower level schools. A little later, this structural unit settled even in parochial schools. The pace of the emergence of school libraries can be judged by the following statistics: in the 30s. the century before last, in gymnasiums alone there were more than 60 libraries, and in parochial schools there were about 30 of them.
In 1860, the authorities carried out a reform that was of great importance for the development of school “book depositories”. It consisted of the creation of a so-called public school, in connection with which the formation of a network of student libraries began. The formation of this system took place at the expense of funds coming from the pockets of parents, who paid the state for the education of their children, and thanks to the voluntary donations of a caring population.
At that time, the network of school libraries was managed by three government bodies: the Ministry of State Property, Education and Education, and the Synod. By the beginning of the 20th century, the share of school libraries in the total number of all structural units of this type was almost 80%. In the 30s The profession of a school librarian appeared. Its emergence was caused by the need to improve library services.
Surprisingly, the Great Patriotic War failed to put an end to the idea of an extensive network of school libraries once and for all. After its completion, the restoration of the latter occurred in record time. Until 1975, school librarians were only responsible for serving students. But, starting from the announced moment, teachers will also join the students.
After 2 years, school libraries began to be equipped with free textbooks. In addition to the school librarian, new specialists have been added: an inspector of educational collections and a methodologist.
Currently, more than 60 thousand libraries operate within schools and similar educational institutions in Russia.
Tasks and functions
The school library is figuratively called the “brain” of the school. The validity of this informal status is confirmed by the functions performed by the library within the walls of a general education institution.
In total, three main functions can be distinguished:
Information. It consists of providing schoolchildren and their mentors with the opportunity to receive and use at their discretion any information they request.
Cultural. School librarians are required, as part of their work, to organize thematic events from time to time, the purpose of which is to develop students' social awareness and cultural development.
General education. This means contributing to the fulfillment of educational tasks outlined in the school curriculum and present in the concept of the educational institution.
School libraries also have several areas of activity. They must be equipped in such a way that children, their parents and teachers can easily access books and periodicals for reading and familiarization; to computer programs. As for teachers themselves, they should also have the opportunity to use methodological and pedagogical literature. Methodological consultations provided to all of the listed categories of citizens are also included in the list of services provided by school libraries and their employees. In addition, the activities of school libraries are aimed at preserving, replenishing and protecting the book collection.
What challenges do school libraries face? Instilling in students a love of books, healthy image life, the reading process, meeting the needs of information teachers, carrying out ideological and educational work. At the same time, school librarians must use new computer technologies in their activities and maintain electronic catalogs in order to make their work easier and the access to library services for those visiting it.

International School Libraries Day: history and traditions of the holiday
About the profession
A modern librarian is not only a custodian of books. He is also a teacher, an artist, a psychologist, a marketer, and an information technology specialist.
In a broad sense, it is the custodian of information sources. Be it clay tablets, books, films, disks or files. He knows the secrets of navigation in an endless information treacle, the secrets of classifying, processing and organizing information, compiling bibliographic reference books and catalogues.
The librarian advises visitors, issues books, periodicals, and files stored in the library, and keeps records of issued and returned materials. Organizes the storage of information and searches for it.
He takes part in the creation of the library fund (places orders for the purchase of new literature, prepares catalogues). Registers and compiles files of periodicals.
Interesting facts
- Librarian is one of the oldest professions, it is more than five thousand years old! The first librarians were scribes and priests who compiled collections of clay tablets.
- In the old days, the librarian profession was very respected and exclusively male. Such famous people as mathematician Nikolai Lobachevsky, writer Vladimir Odoevsky, and fabulist Ivan Krylov once worked as librarians.
- In the 19th century, to get a job in the main library of Russia, the Imperial Public Library, a higher education was not enough. Knowledge of Latin, Greek, French and German languages. Even junior library staff had to speak at least three (weak?) foreign languages!
Dear librarians! I wish you all not to lose courage, to remain as creative, mobile, creative, sincere and, of course, wise! Good luck to everyone and everything!
Congratulations on School Libraries Day
Librarian - information keeper,
From children's fairy tales to scientific articles,
He's in an immense book labyrinth
The best path to knowledge shows
His profession is complex and multifaceted,
There are a lot of different responsibilities,
And no catalogs, databases
His work cannot be replaced!
To those whose work is connected with the library,
We wish you a wonderful day
Health and success of all kinds,
Let life be bright and interesting!

You don’t give books against signature,
And give knowledge to the whole world.
It cleanses the human soul
A divine idol born by the author.
Libraries for many centuries
They protect our minds like the leaves of an old maple tree.
I bless you for long life,
Who has been in love with decent work since childhood.
Here are thoughts, feelings, wisdom, the secret of the century.
Let the winds of change blow in the world,
And you keep your contribution to the library.
Then decay will not touch the books of oblivion.
You often invited me to the reading room
Writers, poets and readers.
And your reader took it for happiness
Listen to the priceless wisdom of the fathers.
To friends who are books, not to people
You trusted the long-standing sadness.
So who is he, a librarian?
Healer of souls, mentor, guide.
He is a kind magician and an experienced pharmacist,
An infusion served from medicinal books.

Wise books do not gather dust on the shelves
And they will always find a reader,
If he can reach your heart
One whose work is greatly needed.

Find an answer to any question.
And sails like a paper boat
Precious light of enlightenment!

Librarians are the people
A special breed.
In the silence of libraries goes
The most important work.

And, helping everyone,
Stores all knowledge

Or concentrate -
Create something great.
Great without loud words,
Invisible to the eye.
