The Omsk State Regional Research Library, named after Alexander Pushkin, is the oldest public library in Omsk and is the main research library in the region. ==History== In 1899 the Omsk Municipal Duma made a decision to open a municipal public library in honor of Pushkin’s centenary. The library was opened in January 1907. It was located in the extension to the Municipal Duma that was constructed against the special project of architect G.S. Bartkovsky. Two adjoining rooms were set aside for the reading hall and the premises where the books could be rented. The library numbered 4 160 books and magazines, 370 readers in the first year of serving the Omsk residents. In 1920 they opened a room for studies and a museum with following departments: bibliography of Russian, foreign literature and modern editions, children’s department with a club and a bindery. During the time of nationalization within 2–3 years the library archive fund expanded to 300 thousand items, which made the Omsk library to be one of the biggest book depositories in Siberia. From 1922 to 1924 the library was located in the building of central post office (former store of tradeswoman Shanina, currently it’s a trade house “Lyubinsky”). However in 1924 the library moved to its original place – at that time it occupied almost the whole building. In 1930s Omsk became a regional centre and the library achieved the status of being regional. Since 1940 the library started to get compulsory copies of all books published in the country. During the Great Patriotic War all the activity of the Pushkin library was subordinated to the war time needs. The employees had to answer the inquiries of specialists from industrial enterprises, theatres and organizations that were evacuated to Omsk from the European part of the country, they also patronized hospitals. In 1960 the departments of technical, agricultural and musical literature were opened; the information service for culture and art was created. The general fund exceeded one million items in 1967. In the 1970s by the amount of work the Omsk Regional Research Library named after A.S. Pushkin got into the best ten out of seventy three analogues libraries in the country. On April 28, 1995 the library moved to a new building. The architectural and sculptural design of the library’s new building(eight sculptures and the surface of the side facade) was created by Vasily Trokhimchuk. The library achieved the status of the “Central State Library of the Omsk Region.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Omsk State Library」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
