(Translated by Google) The largest regional library in Gomel is located in the city center, not far from the station (10 minutes walk) in a building that is a historical and cultural value. I have been her reader since 1999. I have visited rarely for the last 5 years due to the availability of everything I need on the Internet. For some reason I recently went through the now-annual mandatory re-registration. There was a need to use Standard documents in our work. However, I never visited - I found everything on the Internet without leaving home, which saved my time. Library collections (textbooks and journals) are necessary for students in various academic disciplines, as primary sources, as well as for their teachers. It is still more pleasant to work with printed material in your hands and on paper than on a computer (it is easier to absorb and process information, it is better for vision - screen radiation does not put pressure on the eyes). Printed material on paper is especially necessary for the periodical departments; local history, art literature and foreign literature. The library has an additional paid service for searching and processing printed material, paid photography and photocopying services. The library hosts many different public events with a small social fee. A computer literacy course is conducted on an ongoing basis for pensioners. Almost always on the second floor of the library you can see another exhibition of author's works. The library has a Rare Book Museum. I would especially like to note the building itself in which the library is located. The building has high ceilings and beautiful historical decor.

Самая большая библиотека в Гомеле областного назначения, находится в центре города, недалеко от вокзала (минут 10 ходьбы) в здании, являющемся историко-культурной ценностью. Являюсь ее читателем с 1999 года. Последние 5 лет посещаю редко по причине наличия всего нужного в Интернете. Недавно перепрошла почему-то сейчас ежегодную обязательную перерегистрацию. Была необходимость использования в работе документов нормативной базы "Стандарт". Однако так и не посетила - нашла все в Интернете, не выходя из дома, что сэкономило мое время. Библиотечные фонды (учебные пособие и журналы) необходимы учащимся и студентам по различным учебным дисциплинам, как первоисточники, а также их преподавателям. До сих пор приятнее работать с печатным материалом в руках и на бумаге, нежели на компьютере (легче усваивать и обрабатывать информацию, для зрения лучше - не давит на глаза экранное излучение). Особенно необходим печатный на бумаге материал отделов периодических изданий; краеведения, литературы по искусству и иностранной литературы. В библиотеке есть дополнительный платный сервис по поиску и обработке печатного материала, услуги по платному фотографированию и ксерокопированию фондов. В библиотеке проводится много разных массовых мероприятий с небольшой социальной оплатой. На постоянной основе для пенсионеров проводится курс "По компьютерной грамотности". Практически всегда на втором этаже библиотеке можно увидеть очередную выставку авторских работ. В библиотеке есть музей "Редкой книги". Особенно хочется отметить само здание, в котором расположена библиотека. Здание с высокими потолками и красивым историческим декором.
