A new Russian Library and Community Information Centre’s  project “Sharing the Gift of Books”  encourages seniors  to share thier skills, knowledge, cultural expiriences with children through reading books togehter, teaching children how to read in Russian, discussing books and telling stories.

We are constantly adding new materials to our collection. New books, newspapers, magazines and other materials come into the library every month. At the Library we put up special displays of recent acquisitions, newest articles, cultural events flyers and information from our colleagues and partners.

The Russian Library is very grateful for the many gifts it receives from its generous patrons.
