Those who have passed all the tests, will get special prizes from the partners of the National Library.

The visitors will have an opportunity to join the meeting of the Syktyvkar Astronomical Club, whose members will share their experience of taking photos of stars at night, show their work, and give advice to beginners. Fans of interesting locations for selfies will enjoy the Secrets of Infinity Photo Zone.
Young guests will hear stories about Yuri Gagarin's childhood, watch mini-films about space using VR headsets, take part in master classes in origami, dough plastic and stencil techniques. Also, another entertaining activity for the guests will be to work with a 3D pen and make their own personal sign of the Sun based on the Upper Vychegda ornaments.
Members of the song lovers' clubs will perform well-known and popular songs about space, the sky, and the stars. The mobile library van outside the center will offer karaoke from 8.30 pm.
For the first time since the pandemic, the Biblio quizz, which has gained popularity among Syktyvkar intellectuals, will be held offline. This team contest involves six rounds of six questions from different fields of knowledge.
In addition, fans of the Literary Mafia Game will gather for a session. The theme of this psychological game will center around sci-fi books by Isaac Asimov.
