Zhaksylyk Korsem – Ozimnen, a literary and musical meeting dedicated to the 120th birthday of a great Kazakh poet Sultanmakhmut Toraighyrov, was held at the scientific library named after S. Beysembayev of S. Toraighyrov Pavlodar State University.

Sultanmakhmut Toraigyrov left an indelible mark in the Kazakh culture. He made a great contribution to the Kazakh poetry. His poems deserved a place in the treasury of Kazakh literature.

Sultanmakhmut Toraigyrov was an educator in the true sense of the word. In his immortal poems, he urged young people to master the heights of culture and education. Toraighyrov showed a great personal example in this field: he always had a thirst for knowledge, he was persistent, hard-working and incredibly strong to overcome any obstacles that he had to face - illnesses, hardship and other problems - and finish what he had started.

Pavlodar State University students showed great interest in the works by Sultanmakhmut Toraighyrov. During the meeting, PSU students, including those from the Inspiration poetic club, recited Milyi Platok, Rodnomu Narodu, Turmyska, Alty Ayak and other poems. Recital of a part from the Kamar-Sulu novel was one of the main events of the evening. Kazakh folk music and kuys became a good musical background for this meeting.

At the end of the evening, the member of S. Beysembayev Scientific Library Yelena Likhanova made a presentation of a virtual book fair, and expressed confidence that such events need to be held on a regular basis, as they help to develop patriotic feelings, poetic taste and love for literature.
