Tula school librarians: Library design: library toys. Children's library: “We draw all year round Drawings on the theme of the library next to
Dear Colleagues!
Preparations for the start of the new school year are in full swing. It is very important that the school library meets its readers clean, beautiful, and updated. But what if there was no repair, no new books were received? You can always find a way to attract and surprise readers! Firstly, to restore order, secondly, to plant landscaping (tidy up existing flowers and plant new ones), and thirdly, to arrange beautiful exhibitions. Today I'll talk about creating reference bibliographic aids that will attract the attention of readers.
Bibliographic index is a bibliographical manual of quite a significant volume with a complex structure and reference apparatus. Its main part is bibliographic records of books and articles, often annotated, which are organized in a certain way. Most often, in indexes designed for children and adolescents, the material is grouped into topics, which are arranged in a logical order depending on the problem being covered.
Bibliography is a bibliographical guide of small volume with a simple structure without auxiliary indexes. Lists for children are often
annotated.
Bibliographical aids-toys- not a new, but still relevant form of bibliographic aid for schoolchildren. Anyone who works with children can come up with a library toy. Library toys bring brightness and imagery that is attractive to children to the information environment of the library, help enhance its visibility, and make it child-friendly.

Below we consider libraries in C/C++ that can be used to develop a library for generating 2D financial charts and technical analysis indicators.
The main requirements are:
- Availability of C/C++ API.
- Availability of adequate documentation with examples.
- Availability of a Python package for experiments.
- Relatively high speed of the Python package when drawing >30,000 lines.
- Correct work with fonts, support for pixel fonts and the ability to disable anti-aliasing.
Summary to consider:
- Pillow for working in Python - fast, documentation available.
- gMagick++ or Magick++ for C/C++ extension are fast and well documented on the ImageMagick website.
- SKIA or Cairo for working with vector graphics.
GraphicsMagic (Magick++)
Extension for the C++ fork of the GraphicsMagick library of the ImageMagick library. Using the library, you can draw, process pictures and save in various formats. Unlike its parent (IMagick), the developers focus on performance, optimization and security.
The PgMagick Python package can work with both GraphicsMagick and ImageMagick. The library is integrated into Python using Python-Boost. Unlike Wand-Py, it works tens of times faster, but at the same time has worse documentation for Python (you need to look for everything in the documentation of the Magick++ C++ extension).
ImageMagick (Magick++)
Extension for C++ of the popular ImageMagick (IMagick) library. Using the library, you can draw, process pictures and save in various formats.
Wand-Py is extremely slow compared to Pillow (a fork of the standard PIL library for Python). Could not solve problems with fonts (adds anti-aliasing and blurring).
Cairo
Library written in C for rendering vector graphics. Contains functions for drawing 2D images. An advantage noted (on forums) is good documentation. It works slower than SKIA (there is a comparison on the Internet).
SKIA
Graphics library written in C++ for rendering vector graphics. Used in Google Chrome, Chrome OS, Mozilla Firefox, Android. Supported by Google. The documentation is scant, but there are examples. Compared to Cairo it works faster.
AGG (Anti-Grain)
A raster graphics library written in C++. The latest version was released in 2006. There is speculation that this library is the basis of PIL for Python (and Pillow).
Mom-reviewer Daria Vasilevskaya and four-year-old son Maxim talk about their impressions of the book by the Japanese artist Taro Gomi, in which you can and should draw on 365 pages!
“We paint all year round. 365 days of creativity" from the publisher "Mann, Ivanov and Ferber" is a thick, weighty album from Japanese artist Taro Gomi in the “invent and draw it yourself” style and as many as 365 pages with creative tasks to develop the imagination. For example: “What’s in this cup?”, “Come up with a topping for pizza”, “What can you see from your window?”, “Paint a T-shirt for a boy”, “Create labels for these cans”, etc.
Probably, when parents see these drawings they will say “uh... what an incomprehensible doodle,” but children should like it, because the Japanese artist Taro Gomi draws in the style of children’s doodles. Many readers liked his unusual style, because Gomi is a popular author of more than 400 books for children, translated into 15 languages. His “Stories” were published in Russia. Album for the development of creativity" and "Animals. Album for the development of creativity."
I’ll tell you how the book “Drawing All Year Round” is organized. On each page there is a black and white drawing, a lot of free space and an assignment with various questions, for example: what are you having for dinner (a plate is given); what he is holding in his hand (the hand is shown); what flowers are in the vases (several vases are given); come up with a hairstyle for her (a face without hair is shown).
A real haven for little dreamers - you can color it, you can finish it, and, if you can, figure out what to depict.
The tasks are different - for any age and level of difficulty. An example of a difficult task: “what word starting with the letter O can describe this day”, “draw an incredulous expression on his face”, “what is she singing about”.
The book is marked 3 years and older. However, in my opinion, you shouldn’t open it before the age of five or six, otherwise instead of circles, animals, hearts and birds there will be only colored strikethroughs and strokes. All children, of course, are different, but it seems to me that a child of five or six years old can more consciously and clearly draw the mood of a character, animals, a family portrait - then the album will be more useful for the development of creative skills.
From cons I can note that there are several drawings of hieroglyphs for Japanese children, for example: “this is how the word strength is written in Japanese.” But if you're being picky, the book is Japanese! And perhaps not all parents will like the author’s illustrations in the “children’s doodles” style.
From advantages: This is an excellent gift edition, a useful album for developing imagination, which can be used when traveling on public transport. Will I buy more albums by this artist? Definitely yes! (in a whisper: and I’ll give it to the child at 5 years old, not earlier).

Literature brings new knowledge and fills us with unforgettable impressions. Undoubtedly, in the era of technology, it is difficult for a paper book to withstand competition, but as Baurzhan Toyshibekov noted, “A civilized person spoils his eyesight with TV, and a cultured person with a book.” Today you will learn step-by-step instructions for depicting this treasure trove of humanity.

How to draw a book step by step
Drawing this storehouse of knowledge is quite simple. Let's look at everything step by step.
Stage 1
Make a sketch of the future volume. Draw a rectangle slightly at an angle. Draw a vertical line in the middle of the rectangle.
Stage 2
As you already understand, the volume will be open. Therefore, it is necessary to depict slightly folded pages. To do this, draw 2 curved lines from the vertical line at the top and bottom, as shown in the figure. Also note that at this stage you need to draw the crust of the binding.
Stage 3
Now add details, such as a bookmark. On the sides and bottom, using light hand movements, draw lines that recreate the sides of the publication. Erase all extra lines.
Stage 4
Apply light and dark strokes for greater realism. Can be supplemented with pictures and lines.
How to draw a book with a pencil
As mentioned earlier, it is easy to depict a book. The pencil drawings are simple in execution, but look decent and believable.
Using a non-greasy pencil, draw the axis. The entire drawing will be based on it. Next, make a sketch of the pages that are unfolded in front of you. They can be depicted using slightly bent quadrangles.
At the bottom, draw an arc and straight lines from it, diverging in different directions. This is how you outline the cover and binding. Draw the remaining pages in the form of rectangles, as shown in the example.
Draw the cover with a thicker pencil and erase unnecessary lines. Your drawing is ready!
Open book
To create the feeling of inspiring bliss from reading your favorite book, picture it open.
As you know, there are soft and hard covers. The main differences are in how the sheets of paper are assembled, how they are held together, and the material from which the cover is made. Hardcover editions look more prestigious and are more practical than paperback books.
When depicting an unfolded volume, it is necessary to take into account the type of binding, look at the example.
Sketch with light strokes.
Draw the binding crust, the fold of the pages and the main body.
Erase the auxiliary lines. Trace the outline of the book. Complete the lines and pictures. Create a shadow effect with crisscrossing strokes.
Closed book
In principle, the closed edition is a parallelepiped, so it is quite simple to depict it.
Do not press too hard on the pencil and sketch out the sketch. Take a look at the example below.
Using a thicker pencil, outline the main features of the textbook and draw the pages with strokes of different lengths. Write the title of the textbook on the cover. Use short strokes to convey the shadow.
One more example
Here is another example of an image of a closed textbook. The principle is the same, so the explanations are not repeated.
Antique book
The ancient edition is particularly beautiful; not only the text, but also their whole soul was put into each page. They applied all sorts of patterns, frames and pictures. And the cover is a whole work of art.
In the unfolded edition, the cover itself is not visible, so it is easier to depict it this way. Take a look at the following step-by-step instructions and try to imitate such an antique.
Don't be afraid to experiment and improvise.
Add bright colors to the finished drawing! That's how interesting it turned out.
Drawing example for children
You need to instill a love of reading from childhood. Therefore, read fairy tales to your child, and then offer to draw a book.
The story is read, the book is closed. And on top lies a reward - an apple. Start your drawing with it.
Then draw parallel lines as shown in the example. To make it easier for your child, offer to draw under a ruler.
Color as you wish. That's how great it turned out!
Drawing example for beginners
Below is an example of an image that even a novice artist can master.
Start with the side crust. Draw parallel lines to create a closed textbook array.
Then draw the outline of the entire volume. Add some light touches to present the pages. That's it, ready!
Drawing a stack of books
When you have already learned to draw one textbook, try to draw a whole stack of textbooks lying on the table. Follow the diagram below.
Make the covers multi-colored. It will be brighter and more interesting.
Drawing a bookshelf
When we look at a bookshelf, we only see the side crusts. Essentially, you draw rectangles of different sizes. For realism, you can draw a couple of textbooks at an angle.
The most difficult process is to apply chiaroscuro correctly. Look at how the books are depicted in the sample.
Write the names on the sides. It is not necessary to write words, it is enough to make the appearance of some kind of inscription. You can also depict an unfolded book on a nearby shelf.
Video lessons
The drawing competition was organized as part of the international
Internet project “Dialogue of Cultures”-2015.
« Solar Library»
(Pomortseva Alexandra, Frequent , Perm region) My library of the future has a lot of sun. Since it will contain a lot of the latest technology, all this equipment will be charged from the sun. Computers, tablets, e-books - that's what will be in my sunny library.
« Rural library»
(Arina Shaibekova, Chastye, Perm region) I live in the village of Chastye. We have a regional library. I want the library of the future in my village to be very spacious. Let there be a huge reading room with e-books, tablets and other new technology. The librarian presses a button, and here you have the reader's form. Only it will not be paper, but virtual. The library of the future is an electronic library. I think that the future belongs to her.
"Tree of Knowledge"
(Krasnoselskaya Alexandra, Vladivostok, Primorsky Krai) Nowadays everything is computerized. Computers whir, keys click. And in my library there is fresh air and silence. You can climb the ladder onto a fluffy oak branch and take the book you need with a beautiful illustration and enjoy reading the book while sitting on the fluffy branch. This is a good place to meet friends, draw, or just take a break from the hustle and bustle of life. I think that such a library will appeal to both children and adults.
« Library of the XXII century»
(Sofia Kuznetsova, Frequent, Perm region) There is a library in my village. I go there often because I love to read. There are many books in it. I think that in the library of the 22nd century there will be even more books! Children will definitely read the books that I and my ancestors read. It's so interesting to learn about what happened before you. There will definitely be e-books, and there are a huge number of books with a lot of interesting things!

"Library "
(Miftakhova Leisira, Sukhoi Log, Sverdlovsk region) The library has many windows, which means a lot of light. The building is movable, it self-adjusts its position so that sunlight enters in large quantities. It has robotic staff and mostly electronic books. You press a button and an image of a book appears in space. "Paper books are kept in the library as historical value. The author of the work is Alina Sysolyatina, a 3rd grade student. 2 drawings.
« "Library of the Future"»
(Miftakhova Leisira, Sukhoi Log, Sverdlovsk region) The library of the future will be in the form of a book. Each page is a room, and in each room there are books on each topic. The rooms are divided into two groups: for adults and children. Entrance to the library using cards. Each person has their first and last name written on a card. The library's motto: “The sun shines for everyone!” Author: Victoria Koryakina, 3rd grade student.
