-According to the analysis' results of the library network, in accordance with the minimum standards in cities of national significance, 20 thousand people need 1 library, and instead of 1 reader, the library needs 2 thousand storage units. In other words, it is very important to create points of attraction equipped with modern design, directly connected to the electronic library systems of Kazakhstan and the world.
Therefore, next year, we plan to modernize the Scientific and universal library named after Al-Farabi (Otyrar), the Central library named after Abay and branch 5 of the library system, " said Khanzada Azimkhanovna.
According to the head of the Department, 5 cultural institutions have been overhauled and put into operation in the city this year.
It should be noted that the library system in Shymkent includes 5 libraries and has 37 branches.
