This year, our great comrade, who introduced Ferghana to the Library of world science, was named the Uzbek scientist Ahmad Ferghani, who lived and worked in the ninth century. In 1980, the metal portrait of Ahmad Ferghani was decorated by the Ferghana sculptor Alder Aliyev. In 1926, books were exchanged between the Tashkent State Library and our Ferghana Regional Library.
