From 1 September to 31 October, an exhibition "To be a mother is the greatest right", dedicated to Mother's Day in Belarus, runs in the Legal Information Reading Room (room 207b).
All good and holy in the fate of every man is connected with the name of the Mother, the personification of tenderness and warmth.
