First, they are going to have game nights. Those who are interested can also use the tables in the reading room. Plus, people can borrow the games just like books.

Address of the library of board games: 25-A Beresteyskyi Avenue

The Kyiv City State Administration plans to expand this pilot project to other library spaces in the city.

For reference:

It should be noted that in Ukraine in 20 bookstores, you can read a modern book about health, measure blood pressure, blood sugar, exercise on massage mats and raise awareness about a healthy lifestyle.

Rubryka writes about this solution. Read more in the article: "Healthy Libraries connect books and public health."

In addition, starting in February 2022, the libraries of Ukraine reoriented their activities in accordance with the needs of communities and internally displaced Ukrainians, becoming humanitarian headquarters, volunteer and consultation centers, and sometimes even shelters.
