On November 13, the Scientific Library of the State University of Management hosted the Interuniversity Book Club Festival "The Living Hat". Representatives from various universities presented their book clubs, and it was inspiring to see that reading meetings are in such demand among students.

The key themes of this year's presentations were brave hearts, strength of spirit, and heroism. The festival began with a discussion involving library directors and writers who are participants in the special military operation.

Later, during a literary teleconference, works by Dostoevsky were read aloud in different languages of the world, including Armenian. It was particularly interesting to follow along simultaneously with the Russian text.

E.B. Rodina, Head of the Information Support Department of the MSUPE Fundamental Library, presented the university's Slow Reading Club "Up to the Very Heights." Evgenia Borisovna invited all interested persons to read without rush, deadlines, or homework:

"Quietly, quietly crawl, snail, up the slope of Fuji. Up to the very heights," as stated in the most famous Japanese haiku. Come join us; we will read aloud and discuss books in the company of good people and charming snails. And make discoveries, ascending to the peaks of knowledge, like climbing the slope of Fuji.
