On 20 April 2018, the JINR Univesral Public Library invites to the 7th Biblionight. The topic of this year: «Let’s all play!». 2018 is proclaimed the year of theatre, but the art of acting is only one meaning of the word “play”. We decided to remember other kinds of plays and present them at our Biblionight.

The painting by Guseppe Archimboldo “Librarian” became the “face” of the Biblionight-2018 . It is a playing picture full of books. Everything we do in the library is dedicated, first of all, to reading and books.

«Biblionight» is the annual festival of reading held in Russia and some CIS states. On this night, libraries, museums, galleries, bookstores, art spaces and clubs open their doors to visitors. The first event was initiated in 2012 by the library community and the Association of Culture Managers (ACM).
