History
Library them. A. S. Pushkin - one of the first libraries on the coast of the Caucasus.

The charter of the library dated November 2, 1899 defined the purpose of creating a library: “to satisfy the love in the local population for acquiring useful information and knowledge in various ways: religious, moral, agricultural, hygienic, educational ...”.
