The employment service and the library perform the function of socialization of the individual, necessary for society, and one of its directions - professional orientation.

In order to identify the interests and inclinations of her high school readers, the head of the library first of all conducted a survey “Who would you like to be?”, “Do you like ...”

Based on the results of the questionnaire, thematic shelves were designed, and then the permanent exhibition “The World and We Are in It”, consisting of sections: “Where to go to study”, “In the world of professions”, where the literature changed depending on the profession that was presented: “Teacher - sounds proud”, “Mechanic is the main profession in the countryside”, “Technology around us” and others.

In the course of work on the program, the exhibition was complemented by selections of books from the unified fund of the Central Library Library, information leaflets issued by the methodological department and the service department of the central regional library in the series “Your roads, graduate”. A reference manual "Where to go to study" was purchased for the library fund.

Literature reviews were systematically conducted in sections of the exhibition: “For those who love to make things”, “We sew”, “We cook very tasty”; conversations “These are not male - male professions”, “To those who choose the profession of a military man” and others.

To help you choose a profession, the library has a card index “On professions, production and working people” with sections “Where to go to study”, “In the world of professions”, “Creative affairs”: about people and their professions. In working with the card file, the interests of users, the needs of the economy in personnel were taken into account, and information about the professions that are currently in demand was selected. A recommendatory list of literature "Where to go to study" has also been drawn up.

The rural library is the only information center for students, teachers, farm workers, pensioners and local authorities.

The functions of the rural library include the creation of a fund of documents of local governments and the organization of free access to them.

Not all villages and settlements of the region have an agreement on the transfer of all published and "unpublished" documents approved by the heads of local administrations. This presents one of the challenges of providing complete information on local government issues.

Free access to regulatory documents increases the awareness of readers, promotes the establishment of contacts between villagers and their authorities.

The library has established cooperation with the department for social protection of the population on the prevention of neglect of minors, with the state security inspectorate traffic. Apart from individual work with “at-risk” children, the librarian conducts delinquency prevention talks with children and parents on the basis of a series of information leaflets issued by the child facilitator and the propaganda inspector.

As part of the legal education of children in the library, a club "Young Law Experts" was organized, in the classroom of which children learn their rights and responsibility for any actions.

Thus, the following conclusions can be drawn from the second chapter.

The main tasks of rural libraries in present stage become providing access to all types of municipal information: providing information to enterprises, associations, representatives of households; assistance to users in literacy; promotion of systematic education and self-education of the villagers, especially the younger generation.

The village library works in close cooperation with other institutions, such as the central district library, district and village administrations, the employment center, social protection agencies, etc.

Conclusion

The modern model library leads the development of effective strategies and methods for searching, structuring and providing knowledge.

The social functions of a modern library are memorial, communication, information, educational, socializing and cultural.

The most important tasks of libraries in modern world are increasingly formulated as providing free and unrestricted access to information and preserving its sources, and the librarian is increasingly called not the keeper and propagandist of the book, but an information specialist, a navigator in a world of information doubling every five years.

Being not only the organizer of knowledge, but also its creator, the modern library participates in the formation of the main resource of the new knowledge society, and therefore becomes the builder of this new society.

Libraries can and should become a key link in the creation of a unified information and cultural space country, establishing direct information links between Russian regions and foreign countries, integration of Russian information resources into international information networks and data banks. The solution of this problem should be facilitated by the formation of a modern, scientifically substantiated, with a pronounced modernization character of the state library policy.

The problems of libraries and library services are the problem of public awareness, access to new ideas and knowledge, especially necessary today in order to adapt to new social conditions, find oneself and one's place in life again, and be competitive.

A characteristic feature of the modern library system is the ever-increasing gap between information-poor and information-rich libraries. There is a direct relationship between the number of people served by the library and the general level of socio-economic, cultural and spiritual development of the region and its resource capabilities. The greater the resource (information) potential of the library, the more in demand it is, the higher the cultural, educational, intellectual level of the population.

The main tasks of rural libraries at the present stage are to provide access to all types of municipal information: providing information to enterprises, associations, representatives of households; assistance to users in literacy; promotion of systematic education and self-education of the villagers, especially the younger generation. The village library works in close cooperation with other institutions, such as the central district library, district and village administrations, the employment center, social protection agencies, etc.

Rural library - a library located on the territory of a rural settlement.

Countryside - settlements, on the territory of which the activity related to the production and processing of agricultural products prevails.

The work of the library in the countryside has its own pronounced specifics, the rural library, both public and school, is much weaker in material terms, etc., however, it is designed to solve the same problems that are faced by libraries operating in the city, and therefore, they can build their work on the same model.

As Antonenko S.A. writes, “In modern Russian library science, there are various approaches to determining the functions of libraries, divided into internal (technological) and external (social). Internal functions are essential, regardless of historical period and the conditions for the existence of libraries, they remain unchanged” (4, p. 26). According to A.V. Sokolov, number social functions not limited, they are secondary and aimed at meeting the needs of society (47, p. 4). According to A.I. Pashin, the social functions of libraries are manifested in specific historical conditions, and their content depends on the tasks that society solves (42, p.34).

The list of social functions of the library is extensive. According to S.A. Antonenko, it is external functions that should interest us when studying the rural library as an agent of the socio-cultural development of the village (4, p. 28). Let us turn to the analysis of their content in a historical retrospective.

From the middle of the XIX century. The educational function is manifested in the library service of the rural population of Russia. The public library during this period was seen as a source of spiritual food for the people. The reader found in it answers to questions of interest to him, developed a worldview, and finally, simply rested behind a book from daytime worries. The book distracted a person from bad society helped to deter drunkenness and prevent crime. The public library was one of the most effective means of educating the people (34, p. 24).

At the end of XIX - beginning of XX century. the rural library acted as an integral part of the educational process, a social institution that has a significant impact on the cultural atmosphere of the village, the closest partner of the school, together with it shaping educational space villages. Thus, she realized the educational function.

In the pre-revolutionary and in the first years after the revolution, many libraries, including rural ones, actively participated in political life (37, p. 44). After 1917, it became natural to assign to the rural library such a function as propaganda. Analysis of articles from the journal "Red Librarian" for the period 1925-1941. clearly demonstrates the priority of this function. In the 1920s-1930s. N.K. often published in the journal. Krupskaya. She considered library work an important sector of socialist construction, and the rural library a militant educational organization in the countryside, designed to help overcome its economic and cultural backwardness. The library participated in the liquidation of the illiteracy of the people. Among the main activities of rural libraries are overcoming the cultural and economic backwardness of the village, organizing the leisure of the villagers, participating in cooperative and educational propaganda, etc. (32, p. 29).

Publications in the "Red Librarian" of the period of the 1930s - early 1940s. give reason to point out such functions of the rural library as political and educational, cultural and educational, leisure and educational. The rural library became the political and educational body in the countryside. Libraries were entrusted with the task of helping the collective farmers to become on a par with the leading workers. The need for cultural and educational work was emphasized. People turned to the village library not only for a book, a newspaper, a magazine, “they also come here for information, for advice, to check government bonds, to write an application, and the librarian tries to help everyone.” During these years, the rural librarian was a collectivist, contributing to the development of collective farms "through the organization of red corners, reading rooms." Libraries taught how to fight for the harvest in a Bolshevik way, promoted the introduction of the best examples of work, raising the culture of production, rationalizing the technological process, and improving the organization of labor. The libraries created "a cultural environment in which collective farmers could engage in self-education, culturally relax with a book." Cult trips in 1930-1934 helped to educate millions of peasants.

In the 1950s-1960s. the work of the rural library was aimed at solving the problems facing the country: the restoration of the destroyed village after the war, the emergence of state farms, the development of new lands. The description of the activities of rural libraries in the journal "Librarian" in these years does not contain the rationale for any new social functions. The role of libraries in the rise of the working masses for the restoration of the national economy of the country is noted (essentially, propaganda and political and educational functions); the role of the rural library in organizing the cultural leisure of the population (cultural, educational and leisure functions) is emphasized.

In the 1970s-1980s. the socio-cultural sphere of the Soviet countryside has undergone changes. Comfortable residential buildings, consumer service complexes, shopping centers, first-aid posts, schools, kindergartens, Sport halls, stadiums, houses of culture with branches of art schools, public museums and even art galleries - these were the central estates of collective farms and state farms (3, p. 30). The introduction of industrial technologies helped to transform peasant labor into an industrial form. rose cultural level residents, their socio-cultural interests and needs became more diverse. At the same time, the village library continued to be regarded as a "combat assistant to the party organization in the countryside"; the propaganda function was transformed into an ideological or ideological-educational function. The tasks of the rural library were: the formation of an active life position, civil maturity, political culture rural residents; assistance in the transformation of a conscious communist attitude to work into the norm for every worker. Leisure, cultural, educational, educational functions were recognized as relevant. Justified and such a function as information. The rural library was supposed to acquaint its readers with the latest achievements of science and technology, to promote the introduction scientific and technological progress V Agriculture(16, p.2).

IN early XXI V. the list of social functions of rural libraries continued to grow. Among the functions of rural libraries in the publications of various authors, educational, leisure, entertainment, self-educational, cultural and educational, memorial, local history, museum, as well as the function of social assistance to the population are noted.

The modern village is going through a process of changing the social structure and the entire social image.

T.I. Zaslavskaya, characterizing the social structure of the modern village, writes that a significant part of the rural population is beginning to comprehend the basics of a market economy, a social group is being formed that has the ability to survive in a competitive environment. All more people are guided by an individualistic model of social development (24, p.54). The social structure of the village has not yet been formed, but one can point to such strata as the political and economic elite, large and medium-sized entrepreneurs; middle layer - farmers, private sector managers, part of the creative intelligentsia; the base layer is the majority of people in mental professions (teachers, doctors, cultural workers), workers in the sphere of trade and services, etc.; the bottom layer is the least qualified workers and employees, pensioners, the disabled, internally displaced persons, persons without a profession, chronically unemployed, mothers with many children; marginal groups of the rural population - alcoholics, beggars (24, p. 55)

Today, the functions of a rural library are determined by the development needs of all aspects of the local community. Such well-known functions as informational, educational, cultural and leisure continue to play an important role. To identify new social functions, it is necessary to analyze the rural library as an element of the socio-cultural environment of the village in all the diversity of its structural ties. The principle of the relevance of the activities of the library to its external environment should be decisive in determining the tasks of a particular library.

As an example of the functions of rural libraries, illustrating the needs of the modern village as a local society, one can name local history, as well as the functions of social support and consolidation.

One of the traditional areas of work state library There has always been local history, even the concept of “library local history” has been formed.

Local history function - the activities of the rural library to study the nature, population, economy, history and culture of their settlement. The existence of such a function is proved by the existence scientific works rural librarians in the form of unpublished documents, articles in scientific journals and collections, participation in scientific conferences various levels.

The local history work of each library is very diverse, each library has its own face, finds its own “zest”, direction, etc.

In general, in the local history activities of libraries, including rural ones, the following areas can be distinguished:

- study of the history of the emergence of its own library and libraries of the region;
- studying the history of your settlement;
- study of the pedigree of representatives of the local community, compilation of the genealogy of childbirth.

It is clear that in a real study these areas can be intertwined and connected.

The second direction of local history work of a rural library - the study of the history of their settlement - is carried out by almost every rural library.

Many rural libraries are doing a very serious job of studying their small motherland. People want to feel like the true owners of the village, to know their history, to preserve national-ethnic, natural-geographical, cultural-historical, linguistic traditions, etc. (29, p.51)

Thus, rural libraries are creating their own mini-museums, ethnographic corners, folk archives. This material is used to work on patriotic education the rising generation.

Educational activities in the field of local history find expression in various forms ah: creating clubs, organizing local history corners at the library, discussing local history books, evening meetings with writers, local historians, interesting people, fellow countrymen who have reached certain peaks in life, as well as holding quizzes, competitions for the best expert on the region, travel games, local history readings, village holidays, etc.

The function of social support is to provide library facilities with all forms of support for villagers in overcoming the difficulties of life. Assistance in the preparation of documents for the elderly to receive social benefits, search for information on the possibilities of material support for low-income families, assistance in the social adaptation of migrants - all these are forms of implementing such a function.

The consolidation function is perhaps one of the most requested and specific to the modern rural library. Consolidation is understood as strengthening, strengthening something; unification, rallying of individuals, groups, organizations to strengthen the struggle for common goals. The rural library today is often the only socio-cultural institution that promotes communication and rapprochement of the villagers, uniting different social status and nationality segments of the population on the basis of the implementation of common tasks.

The modern rural library, on the one hand, develops in the conditions of local self-government, and on the other hand, it becomes a subject of local self-government, capable of helping its development. Now many libraries are trying to organize their activities in such a way that the local community would see a partner in the library, which can be very useful in solving social problems.

Based on this, the main directions of the work of a modern rural library, as well as the forms of providing information and the range of services are determined by priority user groups, their information needs, as well as the needs of local governments.

The rural library is today a link with the system of libraries of the region, region, country, and finally the world, helping local residents to overcome informational and psychological isolation. From generation to generation people come to the rural library with their needs and requests; inner world every villager and the cultural spirit of the village itself, of the entire society.

The inclusion of a rural library in the process of building a local community is a completely natural situation. The local community cannot do without a library. The school remains most closely associated with the library, it is these social institutions form an educational space in the field ().

Traditionally, the rural library has always paid considerable attention not only to teachers, but also to other representatives of the rural intelligentsia - doctors, rural specialists, managers, etc.

However, it should be noted that the information needs of these groups of library users have also changed noticeably recently, and there is a strong desire for self-education in various fields of knowledge.

Changes in the economic conditions of work in the countryside, the emergence of a multistructural structure, various forms of ownership and management have led to the fact that, in addition to purely special, technological issues, rural specialists (doctors, entrepreneurs, etc.) have become interested in the economic and legal aspects of their professional activities.

The peculiarity of the work of the rural library - close, everyday contact with the inhabitants of the village - allows you to constantly refine and deepen the request and maximize the individualization of information. In addition, under these conditions, the librarian is able to give the so-called. "preemptive information" that appeared at his disposal.

A special place among the users of the rural library today is occupied by the so-called. managers.

This group includes rural akims, economic leaders, etc. These people have to decide wide circle economic, social, socio-cultural, legal, environmental and other issues, which requires permanent job with documents of a legislative nature, tracking the necessary information in periodicals, etc. Solution personnel problems, the resolution of conflict situations in the workplace requires knowledge of psychology, management. It is also necessary to know the experience of local self-government in other regions of the country and abroad.

Managers need information of a permanent nature, both analytical and factual.

It should be noted that the degree of usefulness of the library to the management staff will necessarily affect their attitude to the needs of the library itself. Only by constantly proving its usefulness to the rural community, the library has the right to count on its support.

Farmers and entrepreneurs have become a significant readership group in the countryside.

Farmers are people of various social strata. Among them there are both indigenous villagers and townspeople who moved to the village. All of them need self-education.

Objectively, the need for new knowledge is especially experienced by people who, having their own small household, kept it "the old fashioned way", never turned to the library, production information. Having become farmers, they feel the need for more thorough training in production, legal and economic issues.

Understanding their situation, the rural librarian can form in these people a strong interest in self-educational reading, in the library.

A study of the situation shows that often good, mutually beneficial relations develop between them and rural structures (including the school and the library): the library tries to fulfill their requests, first of all, of course, business ones, and they provide sponsorship to the library, for example, pay for a subscription periodicals, purchase of new literature, purchase of equipment and software, etc.

The rural library is also trying to provide its services to part-time students, who are many among rural specialists and graduates of rural schools.

The library tries to select the necessary literature to complete the educational task, provide information about the available bibliographic sources, etc. The possibility of educational assistance to part-time students increases many times, even if a small library has a computer and a modem, thanks to which it can access information and document resources of large libraries. national libraries and world information centers, order an electronic copy of the necessary article or even an entire book.

Today, there are quite a lot of unemployed people among the villagers.

Among them are people of pre-retirement age and young people. It is the library, using all its capabilities, that can give them the most comprehensive and complete data on the possibilities of education, retraining, the availability of jobs, both in the region and beyond, on employment in summer period, in their free time from studies, on a part-time basis, as well as on the conditions for obtaining an early pension, on the rules for registering as an unemployed person and his rights, etc. In the library, they can find out how and where to take an aptitude test, as well as what official legislative documents they can rely on when looking for a job.

As a rule, pensioners, veterans, and the disabled make up a significant group of rural library users.

These people especially need the help of the library. They are concerned about issues of pension provision, medical, household and social services, changes in pension legislation, and the provision on rights and benefits. They also need legal information, books on fishing and canning, and magazines, for example, Peasant Woman, Your 6 Acres, etc. The rural library, working with these groups of readers, performs not only an informational, but also a social function.

The rural library, working in a closed socio-cultural environment, with a permanent, readership, knowing its not only informational, but also social needs, and being the most socially stable and information-rich institution, cannot but help its users. In practice, this is often implemented in the following way: along with the book, the librarian brings home to the disabled person the medicine bought for him, and sometimes food (24, p. 58).

Many libraries are deeply aware of this new function of theirs and have developed special programs such as Charity and the Book.

One of the most important tasks of the library working in the village is the information and cultural saturation of the leisure of rural residents. Visiting the library gives people the opportunity to communicate, which is extremely important in the conditions of the village, where there are no other opportunities (cinemas, restaurants, theatre, museum and even, often, a club). The library becomes the "living room of the community," as American librarians say. It is known that now the library has remained, in fact, the only cultural center that works for free. Despite all the difficulties, circles, interest clubs, lecture halls, etc. are actively working on the basis of many rural and school libraries.

The role of a comforter, a calmer, that is, a relaxation function, has increased the demand for rural libraries in recent post-reform years.

The library becomes the "living room of the community," as American librarians say. It is known that now the library has remained, in fact, the only cultural center that works for free. Despite all the difficulties, circles, interest clubs, etc. are actively working on the basis of many rural and school libraries.

Organization of evenings, competitions, amateur concerts and theatrical productions etc. often arranged by the library in conjunction with the club and school libraries. This work requires both great organizational efforts and certain theoretical preparation: familiarity with methodological developments, scenarios, etc.

Help for student youth. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of this area of work of the rural library. Famous words of Academician D.S. Likhachev that “the library is the foundation of culture” means that both the culture of society as a whole and the culture of each individual member of it are based on this foundation: studies show that it is books and reading that form a spiritually mature, educated and socially valuable person .

The opportunity to "lean" on this foundation - the library - is especially important, of course, for young people. It is necessary that young people, students, especially those living in rural areas, where the cultural infrastructure is not rich, could receive the necessary information, help, advice in the library.

On the other hand, the library's attention to students and youth largely determines the future life of the village, the possibility of its development, both economic and social.

The help of the library for young students today is not only in its help in mastering educational subjects, but it also manifests itself in a wider context.

Today library service is interpreted by specialists as an activity that contributes to the successful entry of a person into society, helps in solving the main problems of a given period of life, i.e. in socialization.

This allows us to consider library services as an activity that contributes to raising the level of social security a young person, which is determined by the value of the information available to the library; and also as a means of “strengthening” the personality, increasing its capabilities and potentialities.

The readers of this group themselves consider the library, first of all, as a source of obtaining information necessary in the process of education and obtaining a profession, as a place for comfortable communication with peers, as an opportunity to receive help from a qualified and friendly librarian in solving many life and everyday issues.

That is, the library, including, of course, the rural one, acts today as the most important institution of socialization, operating in conditions where the influence of traditional institutions of socialization (for example, the family) has noticeably weakened. This trend in rural areas is only increasing. Obviously, the work of the library should be closely linked with the work of the school.

Considering the current situation and the needs of users, the library today is trying to build its work based on the parameters of the so-called "information-educational" and "socializing" model.

The information and educational model was formed under the influence of the general informatization of society, the introduction (although not as decisive as we would like) of computer technology, in real life libraries, which opened up great opportunities for her. The formation of this model also proceeded under the influence of a change in the ideology and philosophy of library services, the library's awareness of its generic qualities: first of all, as a cumulator of knowledge, a collector (and holder) of information.

The library can also establish public relations to promote a healthy lifestyle for young people, protection from drugs, alcohol, AIDS, etc. young family, etc.

It should be noted that, while meaningfully revealing each of the stages of socialization of the individual, the library should be, according to Yu.P. Markova, free from political and any other conjuncture, fashion. It should stand on the position of morality, decency, morality, not be tempted by supposedly "advanced" views on life values. Such a “conservative” position of the library is due, in its opinion, primarily to the generic features of the book as a form of printing that prevails in its funds, as an accumulator of established social experience.

By preserving traditional values and rallying users around itself, the rural library will be able to contribute to the stabilization of the moral climate in the local society.

The services provided by the library, including the rural one in the course of serving the student youth, are very diverse.

Most clearly in the activities of libraries are services for the organization of communication. In many libraries, especially school libraries, including rural schools, there are clubs, for example, the Young Historian's Club, the Science Fiction Lovers' Club, etc. Video clubs have appeared in some rural libraries, which significantly change the library atmosphere and library environment.

In the process of library services for the rural population, a significant place is occupied by current information services, when the library constantly provides information on an issue of interest to someone: a subject teacher, a school principal, a farm director, an entrepreneur, etc. A number of rural libraries constantly publish informational lists of new literature (as a rule, quarterly), bulletins of novelties ("News of publishing houses", "Read in magazines", etc.).

Individual service is widely practiced in the practice of the rural library. Knowing well the problems of the villagers, the librarian can provide ongoing or occasional assistance, for example, inform about a newly acquired book, select lists of books and articles on the topic, carry out preliminary information, etc., i.e. provide operational reference and bibliographic services.

As a rule, those to whom the rural library provides individual information (including legal) support include the head of the farm, top-level specialists (chief livestock specialist, chief agronomist, etc.), school principal, entrepreneurs, etc., depending on real situation in the countryside. The library can provide them with thematic, factual, personal and other references.

In addition, legal information libraries offer comprehensive services that combine bibliographic, analytical and documentary information.

In general, at the disposal of the centers legal information with sufficiently large libraries, resources allow offering users the following range of services:

- search for legal acts in electronic databases;
- providing information on the display for a brief introduction;
- issuance of a certificate of the place and time of publication of the document;

- search for information on pre-order;
- provision of a PC for independent work;
- creation of a title page for written works;
- creating ads;
- printout from a floppy disk, etc. (35, p.38)

Of course, small rural libraries are unable to provide all these services. However, it is very important that rural librarians be aware of these opportunities and orient their users towards them.

The importance of the problem of legal education attracts the attention of local media to the activities of legal centers. And here also contacts wear mutually useful character. On the one hand, representatives of the local newspaper, radio, etc. they themselves can get the necessary information in the center, for example, on copyright issues, on the other hand, the activities of the legal center are covered in their publications.

Thus, by providing legal assistance to the population, the library also contributes to the formation of local self-government. This area of activity of libraries, which was formed relatively recently, is quite clearly manifested in the experience of rural libraries.

The above list of functions is not exhaustive. The study of the social functions of a modern rural library should be carried out on the basis of systems approach, through the analysis of the socio-cultural space of the village as an environment for the functioning of the library. Such a study involves the active involvement of data from representative sociological and cultural studies of the modern village and has great scientific potential for enriching domestic library science.

Thus, a modern library operating in the countryside, regardless of its type and type, covers with its activities, in fact, all social groups villagers, helping them to solve their numerous educational and self-educational problems, which fully meets the requirements for public libraries, which are made by the International Library Association (IFLA).

During 2015, the Alexander Rural Library fulfilled the main mission of its institution - it developed as an information and cultural center, providing quality information and services to library users using the available catalogs (alphabetical, systematic).

During 2015, the library fulfilled the main goal of its work - the maximum satisfaction of the needs and requirements of the villagers and library readers using printed publications. Assisted in improving education, self-education. In general, the cultural and educational activities of the library were carried out in the following areas:

- a series of events "Kaleidoscope of Anniversaries", dedicated to the life and work of writers (throughout the year);
- week "World of Professions" (February);
- regional review competition (March);
- week of children's and youth books (March);
- days ecological culture(April);
- family day in the library (May);
- summer reading for children (June-August);
- knowledge day (September);
- excursion around the library (October);
- a cycle of events for the New Year (December);
- days of information (throughout the year).

Most often and with particular pleasure children and teenagers visit the library (36%). The largest number of mass events is held for this category of users. Trying to keep the interest and attention of children, library specialists prepare various events with elements of theatricalization, games, competitions, and creative tasks.

Children and teenagers choose books, read magazines, collect puzzles, play Board games, draw, and communicate with each other. Magazines such as "The World of Princesses" and "Playing with Barbie" are in demand by girls of preschool and younger school age, and older girls choose the magazines "Magic", "My Secrets" and "Girls". Boys are attracted by the magazines "Toshka and his company", "Tom and Jerry", the magazine " Star Wars”, which, unfortunately, has not been published since 2014. And teenagers are interested in Moto and Rybolov magazines. Fairy tales, children's detective stories, novels for girls, and adventures are invariably popular with young readers.

Together with a kindergarten for children preschool age study tours "Knizhkin House" are held. Children for the first time get acquainted with such concepts as a book, a rack, a magazine, a reader's form. There are funny lessons for children. On the eve of September 1, a large matinee was held in the library “How Buka and Byaka became first-graders”. Children received prizes and a positive mood.

The main group of library readers are adults (50%) who were offered book fairs and mass events on topics such as maintaining health, housekeeping, autumn preparations, rituals and traditions, as well as literary evenings, evenings of rest, evening-memories. All these events are designed to create conditions for communication, manifestation creativity participants. It should be noted that among this group the most active users are people of pre-retirement and retirement age. This is due to the fact that they have the most free time. They read books not only contemporary authors, but also literature of the Soviet period (series "Made in the USSR" and "Siberiada"), and books of a historical orientation. Of the magazines, Homestead Farming, Selskaya Nov, 1000 Tips, Everything for a Woman, and others are in constant demand.

The smallest and most difficult category of readers in terms of attracting to the library is youth (14%). High school students are loaded with school assignments, students live outside the village and come only on weekends and holidays, and working youth have little free time. But, despite all this, they try to attract as many users of this category as possible, for which they go to school for public events, arrange book exhibitions and information booklets on topics that are relevant to them ( bad habits, character and fate), subscribe to magazines that are in greatest demand among young people (“Your best friend”, “OOPS”, “I’m 15”), help in the selection of literature by modern fashion authors.

Library specialists pay special attention and care to people with disabilities, advising and selecting books for them, as well as inviting them to all public events and book exhibitions.

The introduction of new information technologies has opened up new opportunities for the library to create more comfortable and modern conditions for our users, to improve the quality of services provided. Thus, it became possible to issue publishing products, for example, such publications as the booklet “Our land in verse and prose”, “Let's get to know each other” (about I.A. Krylov), the Bibliographic guide - an annotated list of references “Peculiarities of the culture of the Krasnoyarsk Territory " and etc.

IN last years the role and importance of the leisure activity in the work of the library has especially increased. The most demanded among library cultural and leisure programs are reading evenings and interest clubs. So, the library has clubs: for the elderly; female communication and family leisure. In addition, a club has been created for readers of all ages. literary reading; for teenagers - ecological club and club local history direction. Cognitive and developmental programs are used for children: quizzes; olympiads; contests; games; hobby groups, etc.

A creative report on the cultural and leisure activities of the library is presented in detail in Appendix A.

Thus, the analysis of the activities shows that the Alexandrovskaya rural library can be called the socio-cultural center of the local community: a full-fledged service is organized, providing users with access to obtaining operational and relevant information, various categories of users (children, schoolchildren, youth, disabled people, the elderly, entrepreneurs, etc.). while using all available resources and capabilities of libraries in the interests of readers. Recently, the level of information service for readers has improved qualitatively.

In addition, the library is trying to take a fresh look at its role in modern conditions, constantly improving mass work. Thus, in order to improve the quality and comfort of library services in 2015, the non-stationary book lending point in the village of Novaya Pryluka continued its work. The issue point is located in the village club, the exchange of books takes place once a month and serves all categories of the population.
