Nowadays, books are read much less, but people still read on the Internet and on the phone because they understand that it is good for the brain, and libraries remain important centers of culture and communication, providing free access to knowledge and cultural events. There are more than 60 public libraries in Brooklyn, each playing a unique role in people's lives. The Brighton Library recently hosted an important meeting of concerned community leaders and activists to improve the Brooklyn Public Library's operations and make it an important information and cultural center. The meeting was organized by David Diles, Chief Strategy Officer of the Brooklyn Public Library. Active people were invited to the meeting to discuss the Brooklyn Public Library's 2024 strategic plan. A strategic plan to improve library services examines the needs, neighborhood characteristics, and interests of the people living in the area served by the library. The directors of the Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay libraries, Svetlana Negrimovskaya and Adriana Michel, invited area activists to the meeting. Brighton Beach has changed significantly over the years. Today, this area on the ocean coast is inhabited not only by Russian-speaking residents, but also by representatives of Uzbekistan, Georgia, Ukraine and other countries of the former CIS. Despite the diversity of languages, Russian remains widespread. Talented people from various communities and the creative intelligentsia of South Brooklyn were invited to the meeting, and the importance of involving people in free library services and events was discussed. The need to attract multilingual staff and provide cultural events for different communities and ages was raised. I would like to note altruistic people who do a lot for society. For example, Ari Kagan, despite his busy schedule, attended the event and made his recommendations for improving the work of the library in Brighton. An example of a successful library is the library on Sheepshead Bay, whose director is Svetlana Negrimovskaya. She managed to transform a small library into an active cultural center for the community. Here they not only read and borrow books, but also hold clubs of interest, performances, concerts and art exhibitions. This compensates for the lack of communication between people. The library also provides assistance to refugees, organizes free English courses, and various seminars, for example, on legalizing brought diplomas and opening your own business in the USA. For this purpose, highly qualified specialists are invited. Particular attention is paid to sick and lonely people. For example, it is very important to help teenagers and divert them from the influence of the street. For this purpose, drawing classes for children are held on Tuesday from 3:30 to 4:30 pm, on Wednesday from 4 to 6 pm they provide assistance in preparing homework, on Thursday children's play day from 3:30 to 4:30 pm, and Friday is teen art time from 2 to 3 pm. Over the course of 9 years, thanks to the collaboration of Sheepshead Bay Library and Kingsborough Community College, hundreds of new immigrants learned about 4-month courses and received a profession in America in a short time. Kingsborough College professor Anna Geller-Coplan suggested using local libraries as an opportunity to connect residents with elected officials and city agencies to improve living conditions in Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay. Everyone wrote recommendations for improving the library’s activities and thank you very much for your support and inspiration. These proposals will be presented to the Brooklyn Public Library for further consideration. Libraries continue to be important centers of information, cultural and social life, helping to strengthen connections, providing access to knowledge, and serving as a platform for cultural exchange and personal development.

Ladies, I'd like to share my experience. I used to be hesitant about fortune telling and rituals, but there came a point in my life where I simply didn't know where to turn for help. A friend recommended Sofia. Honestly, I was skeptical, but what she told me during the reading simply shocked me. She saw everything, even things I'd never told anyone. Afterward, Sofia performed a ritual to remove negativity, and within a few days I felt a sense of lighter inside—the anxiety disappeared, my sleep improved, even my mood changed. And within a couple of weeks, issues that had been lingering for years began to resolve. I'm still grateful to her! If anyone has similar problems, don't be afraid, try it. It really works. Here's her number: +380984915343, and she's also on WhatsApp.
I lived as a mistress for almost four years. He kept finding explanations why the divorce papers with his wife had not yet been filed. At the same time, he convinced me that he wanted us to be together, although he did not show up at my place often. But, to his credit, he provided for me financially and I did not even have to hint that I needed anything - he closed all the issues completely. For me, this was relatively honest. Although over time I thought about getting someone else for more regular meetings "for health". Therefore, everything would have continued like this if at one time he had not had an obsessive desire to cum inside me without warning. After several such cases, pregnancy did not occur and we continued. We began to see each other more often, but I did not take contraceptives, since many of my friends could not achieve results for years even with a great desire. This relaxed me. And now, after half a year of such "pourings", a "surprise" occurred. He sent me to the USA to give birth to ensure citizenship for the child, but he never got around to divorcing his wife. Only sworn promises that neither I nor the child would need anything. When I returned with my son, we began to see each other no more than once a month. He kept his word regarding financial support, but he did not devote any time to the child or me at all. On the contrary, our meetings only became less frequent and shorter. I did not put up with this. And now I think that this should have been done much earlier. I turned to the magician Alexander for help. I made an appointment at +380971792179 via WhatsApp. For Alexander, my whole life was in full view. Therefore, I did not even have to tell anything or explain much. We agreed that Alexander would work to ensure that my beloved and I would become closer. And I got an excellent result! In the process, my beloved began to be drawn to me and my son like a magnet, and by the end of the month we were living together. He took on the divorce with his wife decisively, and then did not delay our wedding. Now our son is already a schoolboy, and my husband and I live in harmony and mutual understanding. So Alexander helped us get together and build a happy family. I advise everyone not to let things slide and not to be satisfied with little. Ask Alexander for help and take your destiny into your own hands, so as not to waste years of your life in vain.

My husband and I lived together for 10 years... I believed that we had a strong family, that the difficulties we had gone through together had only hardened us. But everything collapsed suddenly. He changed... became cold, distant... And then I found out about her. A mistress. Young, daring, without a shred of conscience. She called me brazenly, laughed, threw insults in my face. She was destroying my family, my soul, my life. I cried at night, prayed, did not know why all this was happening to me. The pain was so strong that it seemed I simply could not stand it. The last hope was the fortune teller Martha, whom a friend told me about. I came to her, broken, with my hands down. And she looked at me and understood everything without words. I did not have to say anything... she herself told me about our life. Calmly, with kindness, she began to work. I did a love spell on that woman, a cleansing... and most importantly, I brought my husband back to the family. He came. With tears. With remorse. He said that he was in a fog, as if under someone else's influence. Now he is nearby, holding my hand, hugging our daughter. And I... I still can't believe that this is my life again. Thank you Marfa! She saved my family! Saved me! Her number is +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
