Unique editions as a gift for the library from Crimea

On April 15, 2016 Deputy Minister of Culture of the Republic of Crimea, PhD Ismet Zaatov visited National Library of the Republic of Tatarstan.

National Library of the Republic of Tatarstan has long-standing and strong ties of friendship with the Republic of Crimea, especially with the Republican Crimean Tatar Library named after I. Gasprinskiy which is located in Simferopol. Our libraries work closely in the area of acquisition of books, methodical help to the libraries, jointly carry out round tables and video-conferences, dedicated to a variety of significant dates. Ismet Bei gave to main library of Tatarstan several unique publications on culture and art of the Crimean Tatars: "Arts and crafts and visual arts of Crimean Tatars", "Crimean Tatar Theater", a unique album "Crimean Tatar artists: the end of XIX – early XXI centuries", "Crimean Tatar theatrics", "Formation of the Crimean Tatar art culture and performing arts: a bibliography and archives" and others. Particular value of these editions is in the fact that Ismet Zaatov is the author or compiler of these wonderful books.

National Library of the Republic of Tatarstan is very grateful to our guest Ismet Zaatov for his valuable gift to the library!
