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.

Marfa is more than just a fortune teller. She is a conductor of light.
Martha saved me. I don’t know how to find the right words, because everything I went through is impossible to describe simply. It wasn’t pain... it was devastation. As if everything alive had been burned out inside me. My husband left. He just got up and left, as if he had never loved me. He said he stopped loving me. He said he was tired. And I stood rooted to the spot, with a mug in my hand and couldn’t breathe. After that, the days merged into a black shroud. I didn’t eat, I didn’t sleep. I woke up and didn’t want to wake up. The children asked where dad was, but I just remained silent and died even more. Everything we had was gone. He was with another woman. He lived with her. He laughed with her. And it was as if I had died for him. I didn’t believe in anything. Until I accidentally saw a review about Martha. At first, I brushed it off. But then, in some kind of desperate hysteria, I simply wrote to her. And she answered. From the first words, warmth. Calm. She didn't ask stupid questions. She just said... You haven't lost everything yet. But you're on the edge. And she started working. I don't know how, I don't know what exactly she did, but it got easier with each passing day. I started having dreams where he came back. I started feeling like there was something between us again. Three weeks later, he came back. Himself. Without threats, without shouting. He just came. He fell on his knees and begged for forgiveness. He said that something had happened to him, that it was as if he had woken up. He looked into my eyes as if for the first time. I sobbed like a child. Now he is with us again. With the children. With me. We are learning to live again. And if it weren't for Marfa, I wouldn't be writing this letter. I might not have written anything at all... Marfa is not just a fortune teller. She is a conductor of light. She is the last hope. Her phone number is +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
How to find a reliable clairvoyant who works through WhatsApp and helps in a helpful way
I was embarrassed to know anyone. Make friends. Tell yourself. Hello, my man is making me happy. And more than once. I endured it for a long time. I thought I had changed. I thought the child would fix everything. I thought that just a little more... and I would become more beautiful. Ale hasn't gotten any prettier. My heart darkened. There was nothing in my eyes. I stopped dreaming. She fell into complete apathy. I couldn’t eat. I didn’t want to sleep. And the smut - I stopped loving myself. I'll cover it. On the job - mercy. At home there are screams. In the middle there is emptiness. And just one evening, when everyone had fallen asleep, I simply typed into Google: “What should I do, because I don’t want to live?” ... And among the results I came up with a modest comment about old grandmother Elizaveta Andrievna, how “the heart feels” via phone. I didn’t know what was a myth or reality. Hello, I wrote. “I feel really bad. I'm broken. Can you help me?" And she confirmed. May I please. “I’m old, don’t worry, God still gives me strength. Write me your name, photo and date. I tell you." We started chatting through WhatsApp. Vaughn did not care what had happened - she said: “You are burdened with pain, pain, images, and the feeling of being late. They “shut you down” so you don’t have any joy. Hello, I’ll open it.” I cried when she said prayers. Just through the phone. There was so much hostility that I wanted to pat my head like my mother. What do you want to do with your hand? Well, I’m not alone. Over the course of several days I learned something new. Otherwise, the little thing turned around forcibly. Later. I still. And then, when the little one’s heart calmed down, grandma said: “You will continue to be happy. Ale from the beginning - a warm heart. Talk to my daughter Lyuba. This will help you know love - straight, pure. Look, I’m only so young.” I Lyuba became like my sister. Vaughn directed. I explained. I was encouraging. And today I am no longer the same person I was then. I am strong. Calm. Alive. If you read a whole series at a time and understand the meaning, just know that you are not alone. And people who don’t help for pennies. And for the sake of the soul. Call +38 066 154 23 67
Lilia, you came into my life just when I'd almost given up hope. The pain of the breakup was unbearable, and my heart was broken. But thanks to your support, advice, and insight, the seemingly impossible happened: my loved one returned. You helped me not just get him back, but get us both back. We became closer, began to hear each other, and truly understand each other. Thank you for that. May your light help many more. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
When I turned to Emelie, my family was on the verge of falling apart. My husband had become distant, there were constant scandals at home, and the children were feeling the tension. Emelie immediately said that our family was under a negative destructive program brought on by envious people. She conducted a powerful cleansing and gave me prayers to strengthen the family hearth. Within a week, the atmosphere in the house had changed: the scandals were gone, my husband became caring and attentive again, and the children stopped being nervous. Thanks to Emelie, we saved our family and restored love and respect. If it weren’t for her, I don’t know how it would have ended. I sincerely recommend that anyone who feels that something is wrong with their family contact her. Contacts: WhatsApp/Viber: +380500147707.
