Among the projects, UzLiDeP Library project takes a special place. Its appearance is directly connected with the important ideas of the head of our state, put forward at the VIII Congress of UzLiDeP. In particular, he said: "It is necessary to pay special attention to raising the interest of children and young people in reading books, further developing the readers’ culture".

The purpose of the UzLiDeP project is to create conditions for the cultural and spiritual development of youth, to encourage children and adults to read in their leisure time and gradually to turn libraries into centers of unorganized youth. In these centers, UzLiDeP will help unorganized youth to acquire knowledge and to find their place in society.

UzLiDeP organized about 20 libraries in the mahallas of Tashkent, Bukhara, Khorezm and Fergana regions.

Today, UzLiDeP opened a library in the makhalla "Olmach" of Sharaf-Rashidov district of Jizzakh region, which caused great joy among their residents. At the moment, the library has in its fund 3 thousand books, it is planned to increase the number of books to 5 thousand. The opening ceremony of the library was attended by writers, poets, activists of the «women’s wing», youth, businessmen, farmers and activists of makhalla.

– This library, has become an excellent gift for the upcoming holiday, - says activist of the mahalla Sh. Kuchkarov. – Now, our children will be able to enrich their knowledge and reach high peaks. Because, the book forms the basic characteristics of a person, such as patriotism, humanism, national pride, honesty and moral purity. Such children will be loyal to his homeland and kind to their parents. We must be an example for our children in everything.

The participants of the event noted that the library fund was selected according to the age and interests of children and adults aged from 7 to 70 years.
