MSUPE Fundamental Library: All-Russian Competition of Book Exhibitions in Online and Offline Formats Starts on November 2
The All-Russian competition of book exhibitions in online and offline formats titled "Book Exhibition in the Library of a Higher Education Organization" will be held for the third time in 2026, and we can say that it has become an annual tradition.
University libraries have accumulated extensive experience in organizing and promoting book exhibitions. Exhibition activity is one of the core areas of a library's work. It is an effective tool for promoting reading among student youth and drawing attention to the electronic and printed collections of libraries. As the results of the 2024 and 2025 competitions demonstrate, libraries strive to apply new methods and technologies in their exhibition work. The competition helps university libraries share experience, identify innovations, and showcase best practices.
