The RLA Annual Conference, which has had the status of the All-Russian Library Congress since 2007, is the largest forum of Russian library specialists, both in terms of the number of participants and a wide range of discussed issues of modern librarianship.

Holding the RLA Congress in the Library Capital of Russia is the main event of the year, both for the entire library community of the country and for the host region. Each such Congress is a significant, bright and unique page both in the history of librarianship in Russia and in the annals of cultural events in the corresponding region.

Ryazan was not chosen by chance as the host city of the All-Russian Congress and the "Library Capital of Russia". V.R. Firsov (the current president of the RBA) noted two main reasons: firstly, it is a city with classical historical, spiritual and cultural traditions, and secondly, it is a city that clearly demonstrates good examples of library services (a strong professional community, the role of libraries in the modern world).

The 2014 Congress was held with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation and the Government Ryazan region and was open to representatives of all libraries, library and information organizations and institutions, as well as their partners, regardless of membership in the RLA.

In his speech, O.I. Kovalev demonstrated good knowledge and understanding of librarianship and its development, in his words there was a conscious pride in the Ryazan libraries and their role in society. He stressed that the library today is no longer a book lending point, but a center of society, intellectual leisure, where the population is provided with access to up-to-date information, services for the provision of electronic resources operate, projects are created and implemented for all sectors of society. He noted local history as one of the most important areas of library work - after all, a person is then a patriot when he knows the history of his land.

He devoted a special role to the issues of strengthening the material base of libraries (for example, the opening in 2011 of a new building of the Gorky Regional Library for Library and Science), raising the professional level of librarians and the prestige of the profession, as well as holding professional forums and annually awarding L.N. Gladkova 10 best librarians of the year.

O.I. Kovalev promised that he would do everything so that libraries develop further, because it is libraries that play a decisive role in the development of society, it is in them that important behavioral attitudes of a person are laid.

G.P. Ivliev emphasized that librarianship is a part of the state cultural policy of the country, and the congress is an important cultural event that denotes ways of solving professional problems and influencing the adoption of some decisions at the level of the Ministry of Culture.

V.R. Firsov noted that each congress is unique, and a feature of this congress is the expected turn in the social and cultural policy of the state, directly affecting libraries (the May 2012 presidential decrees and the draft document "Fundamentals of State Cultural Policy").

Novikov said that in terms of the number of items produced, Russia is one of the five developed countries, and most of the inhabitants of Russia continue to read - mainly in large cities... In the regions, the situation is different, in particular, since the reading infrastructure is worse developed there.

In the course of this project, the availability of the reading infrastructure: bookstores, libraries, online stores, etc., the preferences of readers will be identified, and a rating of regions will be compiled. According to O.E. Novikov, the heterogeneity of the infrastructure creates an imbalance, due to which a significant part of the Russian population stops reading. Based on the study, specific recommendations will be developed for each region.

Shraiberg J.L. presented the project "Map of Russian Science", which collects all information about Russian scientists and publications.

G.P. Ivliev spoke about the problems of the project "National Electronic Library", which today is a priority in the field of librarianship of the RF MK. The project has strongly evolved towards general availability, but it is still in its infancy and requires the solution of many issues - in particular, duplication during digitization, the lack of uniform standards for technological requirements, etc. He emphasized that the implementation of this project is the implementation of the constitutional rights of citizens to access information. Ultimately, this will raise the profile of the libraries in the community.

Chairperson of the section "Library management and marketing" E.N. Guseva (MK RF) noted that the section is one of the most important sections of the RLA, since library management and marketing is the basis of all library processes.

Mikhnova in her speech emphasized that young people are such a group of readers that require specialized service, even if there are no specialized departments in the structure of the library. S.G.
