Irafsky District
Irafsky District

Welcome to the Irafsky District of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. Located in the southwestern part of the republic, most of the district is mountainous. It borders Georgia, the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, and the Digorsky and Alagirsky districts. The administrative center is the village of Chikola. The population is over 15,000 people, mainly Ossetians and Russians. The Ossetians of the district speak the Digor dialect of the Ossetian language. The economy of the Irafsky District is based on agriculture—there are five collective farms and four state farms here. The district also has a consumer services complex, housing and utilities enterprises, and the Fasnalskaya Hydroelectric Power Plant. Tourism is well developed. The district is rich in historical, cultural, and natural monuments. The Alania National Park is located in the district, where there are many mountaineering, tourist, and ecological trails.

As part of the national project “Youth and Children,” students from the lower grades of School No. 1 in the village of Chikola visited the district children's library.

The children looked at the shelves with interest, familiarized themselves with the thematic sections, and discovered a whole world of fantasy and adventure. The “Space” section made a particular impression—the children's eyes lit up when they were offered the chance to choose books they liked to read at home.

For many of the children, this visit was an important and memorable event—the first step toward choosing literature independently. It is precisely such vivid moments that awaken genuine interest and form a true, deep love of reading that lasts a lifetime.

The national project “Youth and Children,” within the framework of which this significant visit took place, helps to create modern and comfortable conditions for the development of young readers, opening up new horizons of knowledge and creativity for them.
