This year there will be reading rooms in the parks in Druzhba 1, Mladost 3 and the City Garden.

Book lovers will be able to take advantage of the library's mobile library - Biblobus, which has over 1500 volumes of the latest books in fiction, non-fiction and children's literature by contemporary, classic Bulgarian and foreign authors, BNR reports.
