He gives the book to read not only other children, but also share them with the school and rural libraries.

Dima proposed to collect interesting books, to promote reading in his village, and he agreed,” says Pie. Over time, the “directorship” in the library helped Dima to expand the circle: learn about an unusual boy, writers began to send him their autograph books, a dime Ukrainians write letters with words of support.

In this village of about 300 students. Remember touching the case: one of the girls liked any book. Dima noticed it and said firmly: “since I’m the Director, then give it to you”.

He says his family have been preparing for the record and the guests — my mom already made myself a new hairstyle and made him clothes, and a younger sister — shined his shoes. To the question put books in the house, Dima said: “the House will soon burst! The record, of course, be prepared, I even could not even dream of. Most likely, will expand its library.”
According to the boy, his favorite genre — science fiction and detectives. “For me, each book is special. As library Director, I warn readers to treat them carefully,” — says Dima. His mother, Ludmila, smiling, says that for the sake of books the family had many things to carry to the attic, and the dishes from the cabinets to rearrange the boxes.
