The department of rare books of the KBSU library is the most unique department of the library, the pearls of which are three handwritten church books (1594, early 1600 and 1700). According to its content, the fund is universal and includes books on various branches of knowledge. The library of KBSU expresses its sincere gratitude to everyone who donates rare publications to the library of the university. Among our donors, I especially want to mention Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Azmet-Geri Shebzukhov, Doctor of Philology, Professor Umar Aliyev, Doctor of Physical Sciences, Professor Khamitbi Mamsirov, Candidate of Medical Sciences Hadzhi Akhriev and many others.

Exhibitions are also regularly held in the Rare Books Fund. One of the most interesting and striking, which I would like to pay attention to, is the exhibition of books by A.S. Pushkin. In the department of rare books, readers are given the opportunity to get acquainted with publications unsurpassed in their content, which, in terms of release time, significantly exceed the age of our library. Undoubtedly, every reader will find here his own book, close and necessary to both the mind and the heart.
