Library' building

     New premises was built on the residential area "Nivki" (str. Bauman, 60) on the original project of main architect M.P.Budilovsky and architect I.A.Cejtlina. Outwardly, library produces an impression of unrolled book, decorated by figured hammered metallic lattices with images of the different plants and animals. Due to such appearance it reminds an ancient castle.
      The authors of the project tried to do their bestto help the children to relax - to sit quietly and read a book or look a film, listen to a plate or sit at a musical instrument. So at readers' disposal there would be not only reading common-rooms and subscriptions but the rooms for individual and group listening of music, videosalon, room of fairy tales, assembly and computer common-rooms.
      The interior of the library answers to the author's artist’s design to create real "temple of books". Well-known Ukrainian artists worked at this project: products from the ceramics (panel "The printing pioneers", room of fairy tales, amazing flowers in vestibule) created by Olga Rapaj; metallic hammered lattice and colour stained-glass window - by Alexander Milovzorov, tapestry manual weaving - by Svetlana and Eugeny Kravchenko, bronze sculpture of boy with the book - by Boris Dovgan. He is also the author of an arch in front of the library's entry - original gallery of writers, such as: Homer, W.Shakespeare, P.Tychina, N.Gogol, T.Shevchenko, L.Ukrainka, A.Pushkin, V.Majakovsky, A.Gajdar. 
      The history of typography is realized in the ancient national style of ceramics - glazes on one of the internal wall of library. Amongst images the ancient papyruses, hieroglyph, modern processes of typography there are four main images: German inventor of typography Johann Gutenberg, Russian and Ukrainian first printer Ivan Fiodorov, Slavic enlighteners Kiril and Mefody. An extremely interesting creative discovery is a panel made from chamotte on the external wall of room of fairy tales, where different folk and literary fairy tales characters are represented.
     At the construction of library best decoration materials were used: rose tiles for the decoration of walls have entered from Armenia, from Uzbekistan - a marble. Yerevan masters have made stained-glass windows, and carpathians furniture-makers made readers’ tables of special designs, shelves and book show-cases; miraculous parquet is received from Kivercy an Volyn area of Ukraine.
