On September 19, within the framework of a working visit, the chiefs of staff of the Security Council of the Russian Federation visited the National Library.
Director of the National Library of Belarus Roman Motulsky held a tour for the guests of honor, acquainting them with the library building and with the history, architectural features and information resources of the institution. The tour participants visited the Round Hall, exhibition galleries, and also the observation deck, where they could enjoy a panoramic view of the capital of Belarus.
The most interesting part of the excursion was an acquaintance with the international exhibition "Francysk Skaryna and his epoch", dedicated to the 500th anniversary of the Belarusian printing. For the first time in Belarus, the most valuable book monuments from the collections of the National Library of Belarus, the libraries of Russia, Germany, Slovenia, Slovakia, Poland, Latvia and Romania are presented in one exhibition venue. The honorable guests were especially impressed by the original editions of the Belarusian first printer Francysk Skaryna, printed in Prague and Vilna in 1517–1525.
At the end of the meeting, Roman Motulsky presented memorable gifts to the guests.
