Cultural institutions (clubs, cultural centers, libraries, city park) actively developed forms and methods of international work aimed at bringing together representatives of different ethnic groups and cultures. The author of the article emphasizes the description of the peculiarities of the international work of the city's libraries.

The existing new federal state educational standards, which have changed the approach to learning in general, provide for today the creation of a new information and educational environment not only in classrooms but also in extracurricular time. Deep socio-economic changes taking place in society, determine the importance of spiritual education of younger students. Junior school age is the most receptive to the assimilation of moral rules and norms, which gives the teacher great opportunities to influence the formation of spirituality, intellect and the future culture of a child through reading books. The library is a complete assistant in this process. The work begins with the first grade: the main directions, goals and tasks are defined. Each of the directions has its own task, but they all have a common goal: to influence the child's soul through books. The conversation started in the library is continued by the teacher at literary reading lessons, parental meetings, class hours.

Based on the analysis of archival sources, the activities of the Soviet institutions of the city of Tobolsk, created for the Siberian Tatar population, are revealed. The chronological framework of the work is due to the fact that it was during this period that Tatar institutions functioned in the city – a school, a pedagogical college, a library, a club, a kindergarten, an orphanage. The location of the institutions and the names of their leaders have been established. Speaking about the national comprehensive school of the city of Tobolsk, the article traces the stages of its development: a unified labor school of the 1st stage – a 7–year school, a school of collective farm youth, a secondary school. For the first time, the article pays attention to the creation and functioning of a kindergarten and orphanages. It is noted that the appearance of the kindergarten was due to a change in the social role of the Siberian Tatar women of the city. It was established that the first orphanage in Tobolsk was intended for Tatar children from the Volga region, and another institution worked for orphans of the indigenous population (1930-1955). The article pays special attention to the activities of the Tobolsk Tatar Pedagogical College (1934-1955), which occupied an important place among the educational institutions of the city and district, providing teaching staff to all national schools in the region. Another important function of the educational institution is the formation of the intelligentsia from among the Siberian Tatars. The educational and ideological role of the library, specially created for the indigenous population of the city of Tobolsk, is shown. The forms of the library's work, its interaction with other national institutions of the city – the school and the club – are considered. As a result, the author came to the conclusion that these institutions were designed to radically change the worldview of people based on a new, socialist ideology and culture, to promote the education of a new type of person. The authorities' consideration of ethnic specifics, the preservation of the principle of teaching and upbringing in their native language, made it possible to solve the tasks relatively painlessly.
