The Pushkin East-Kazakhstan Regional Public Library is one of the oldest in Kazakhstan. On March 20, 1986 in the spirit of the Ust-Kamenogorsk Duma members, sent into exile by the government from central cities of Russia, E. Mikhaelis, O. Kostyurin, A. Fedorov a free Library-reading hall was established. Book collection mostly consisted of city intelligentsia and political exiles’ private books, who apart from the books contributed money to replenish the collection.
By the end of 1898, i.e. two years after the Library was established, the book collection included 830 books, 384 issues of 33 titles and 428 customers.
Now the Library is a large information and cultural center in this region.
Among its customers were such well-known persons as Pavel Bazhov, Alexander Volkov, Nikolai Petrovsky, author of the famous “Dictionary of Russian names”, E. Permitin, an outstanding Soviet writer, G. Grebenshchikov, a Siberian writer who emigrated afterwards, oldest Kazakhstan writer N. Anov, writers of our region- I. Kuznetsov, D. Cherepanov, K.Kaisenov, M. Chistyakov and others.
During this century the Library witnessed a lot, but whatever happened there was always friendly, optimistic and creative atmosphere inside the Library.
