Библиотека Маяковского

The best library in Saint-Petersburg city (RF).

Each owner of at least a small plot of land thinks he is a landlord, so it does not surprise me that the board of the landowner agricultural partnership chose the project of architect Yakov Bluvshtein, which was implemented in 1911-12, for the construction of a tenement house. In this case, Art Nouveau is strongly influenced by Gothic architecture, referring us to family castles and medieval cathedrals. Not for nothing, the key element of the house is the corner tower, the unconditional dominant of this part of Izmailovsky Prospekt. I always wanted to see something like this in my summer cottage, but my relatives absolutely do not share the impulses of my Gothic-inclined nature, preferring the routine of eternity. With such people, you can’t organize a small, cozy family crypt. But it would be nice to equip the guilty youths not in a trivial angle, but to comprehend the frailty of existence and the meaninglessness of being to the great-grandfather tombstone. Such therapy, I am sure, would make the young man ready to face any life hardships and strengthen family ties, again. Although, what am I talking about ?! We live in the 21st century, now, I heard, children are not tanned, they are not put into the corner, they are watched and accepted as they are, and all opponents are instantly sent to the rear of public censure. Apparently, great-grandfather still have to get bored.

Wonderful library, I love it. If only they were allowed to leave the scooter inside folded. They hijack them if outside ...

A pleasant place where interesting people gather, interesting meetings and informative lectures are held, as well as many interesting books, especially in foreign languages, and teaching aids. The library is located in the mansion of Countess Karlova - in the historical center of St. Petersburg, next to the Anichkov bridge.

Thank you very much for your help to the leading bibliographer Maxim! Great modern libraries! Service!) And I didn't even know that libraries now have so many opportunities and such interesting resources.
