Kozybayev University Library Donates Books to Women’s Correctional Facility

A book has always remained not only a source of knowledge, but also a space of inner freedom capable of supporting a person, inspiring them to rethink their life path, and strengthening their aspiration for personal growth.

With the support of the representative of the Commissioner for Human Rights in the North Kazakhstan Region, Zhanat Zhumabayev, the Kozybayev University Library donated around 700 copies of fiction, educational, and informative literature to Institution No. 50 (the women’s correctional facility). These publications are intended to broaden horizons, foster an interest in reading, and create opportunities for the self-education of inmates. The donated books are meant to contribute to their intellectual development and fill everyday life with new meaning through dialogue with literature.

Such initiatives reflect the library’s important social mission as an institution of culture and enlightenment - to serve as a guide to knowledge, humanistic values, and spiritual support for everyone, regardless of life circumstances. By promoting a culture of reading, we create opportunities for inner development, hope, and new points of reference.
