The cultural and educational center "Kitap-Amanat" opened in Astana, Shymkent, Zhambyl, Pavlodar, Zhetysu, Karaganda and other regions and is a popular project.
The main goal of the project is to increase interest in domestic literature, stimulate the public to read and support domestic authors and book publishers.
Tasmaganbet Sabyrzhan Nursaliuly, chairman of the Arkalyk city branch of the AMANAT party, noted: “The KITAP-AMANAT bookstore opened today in Arkalyk should become not only a place for selling books, but also a cultural and educational center. This place should become an incentive for visitors to discuss books by Kazakh authors, hold meetings, reading evenings with the participation of local poets and writers, cultural and artistic figures, and representatives of the general intelligentsia.”
The rector of the institute, Yerzhan Amirbekuly, spoke at the opening of the event. In his speech, he said: “Paying attention to the education and upbringing of the younger generation is a concept akin to the content of the book. Through the book we can show an ideological approach to national interests. I am confident that selling books of various types at affordable prices within the framework of the project and placing them on shelves will teach students and city residents a culture of reading.”
It should be noted that the KITAP-AMANAT project is being implemented within the framework of the issue of publishing books by domestic authors, which was voiced by Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev at the second National Congress, held last year in Turkestan.
