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.

Lily gave me back not only my husband, but also the reason to breathe.
I walked to Lilia with trembling hands, afraid to believe that anything could change. But she looked at me as if she saw all my pain at once. The rituals she performed seemed to lift a heavy layer of despair from me. And suddenly, my husband appeared at the door. He stood there, silent, and then said, “I feel bad without you. I tried to forget, but it didn’t work.” I can’t forget that moment. Lilia gave me back not only my husband, but also the reason to breathe.

Liliya, you saved my family. After 15 years of marriage, my husband suddenly left... I couldn't believe it, I thought it was the end. But you saw the reason, helped me do everything right, perform the ritual for returning, and most importantly, you supported me every day. After 3 weeks, he came back. Not just came back, but changed - he began to appreciate, listen, care. Thank you for this miracle. God bless you!

I'm writing this with trembling hands... I still can't believe that he's here, sleeping next to me, hugging me at night, and not her. My husband left... Not just left... he was taken from his job by a woman with no shame or conscience. I felt him slipping away: the coldness in his eyes, the distance, the lies. He left without looking back. He left me with a child, with empty walls and a broken heart. We were together for 13 years... 13 years of love, pain, joy. And then it all collapsed in an instant. I was dying inside. No one understood how much pain it was. My friends said, "Forget it." But I couldn't. My soul was breaking. He was mine. I knew it. In my heart. In despair, I found reviews of Matushka Raisa on Google. I wrote to her in tears. I don't remember what I wrote... everything was like a fog. She answered very calmly: Don't cry, girl. He's not hers. His soul is still with you. We'll bring him back. But believe. She saw everything: the rival, the husband's weakness, and my feelings, as if in the palm of your hand. She performed the ritual. She said: Give it three days. And don't doubt. On the second day, he called. He spoke quietly, as if ashamed. He said that he felt like he'd woken up. That he couldn't breathe without me. On the third day, he stood on the threshold. With flowers. With eyes full of remorse. He said: Forgive me. I don't know what came over me. I want to go home. We are together again. But now every evening I pray and thank Mother Raisa. For hearing me. For protecting my family. This is not just help. This is a miracle. If you're in despair and don't know where to turn, go to her. Mother Raisa is a light in the darkest darkness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help! Her number is +38099-292-71-82 on Viber.
