Do people in Vologda love reading? Or were they more interested in the lecture about reading delivered by Sergey Baranov, a VSU philologist ?
The first public lecture on how to read books correctly was held in Vologda Regional Library. Dozens of people attended the opening meeting. The library was overcrowded.
“I am grateful to Professor Baranov and Vologda Regional Library for the project “School of Serious Reading”. Years pass by, but Professor Baranov’s charm does not fade away. The audience seems to be enchanted whilst listening to the lecture. It is exactly like back in the day, when we were students; you can’t believe your watch: has an hour already passed?” – one of the attendees, Lyudmila Egorova, shared her impressions with us.
