Thus, by Knowledge Day, a rather impressive collection of over 100 books of various kinds has been gathered. These include fairy tales, fiction, educational, and scientific literature, as well as developmental books. For example, Chekhov's stories, "Children's Encyclopedia for Little Gentlemen," "My First Book About Humans," "All About Style for Super Girls," "I Discover the World," "Children's Encyclopedia of Health," etc. Several newlywed couples, who will be registering their marriage today, will take all the collected literature to Secondary School No. 2, where they will present it to first-graders with best wishes during the festive ceremony, specialists added, emphasizing that the city Civil Registry Office will continue to hold good deeds campaigns for children. -0-
