We need to translate the Russian fragment into natural English, preserving paragraph breaks, not translating links or proper nouns. Output only translated text, no commentary, no markdown fences.

We need to keep image markdown? The fragment includes . According to rules: Do not translate the article link, url, or any proper nouns you cannot render. The image markdown is not a link? It's a markdown image with alt text in Russian and a URL. We should not translate the alt text? The alt text is "фото". Should we translate? The rule: Do not translate the article link, url, or any proper nouns you cannot render. It doesn't say not to translate alt text. But the alt text is just "фото" meaning "photo". Usually we would translate that to "photo". However, the instruction: "Do not translate the article link, url, or any proper nouns you cannot render." The alt text is not a link or URL. It's not a proper noun. So we can translate it. But we need to keep the markdown syntax? The output should be plain text, no markdown code fences. Should we keep the image markup? The original includes markdown image syntax. The instruction: "Output ONLY the translated text. No commentary, no quotes, no markdown code fences." It doesn't forbid markdown syntax like . But they said no markdown code fences. Inline markdown is okay? Usually they'd want plain text. However, they said preserve paragraph breaks. The image lines are separate lines. We could translate the alt text to "(photo)"? But better to keep the same format but translate alt text to "photo". The URL remains unchanged.

Thus we will translate the Russian text, keep the image lines as . Ensure we keep line breaks.

Let's translate.

Paragraph 1:

"В Борисовской центральной районной библиотеке им. Колодеева организовали праздничное мероприятие – интерактивно-инклюзивную программу «Завтра в школу». Её главными участниками стали дети и родители из общественных объединений, оказывающих комплексную помощь детям с ограниченными возможностями здоровья."

Translate:

"In the Borisov Central District Library named after Kolodeev, a festive event was organized – an interactive-inclusive program 'Tomorrow at School'. Its main participants were children and parents from public organizations providing comprehensive assistance to children with disabilities."

Paragraph break.

Then image line: We'll change alt to photo.

Next paragraph:

"В мероприятии участвовали начальник отдела идеологической работы и по делам молодежи Борисовского райисполкома, председатель Борисовской районной организации общественного объединения «Белорусский фонд мира» Татьяна Чуйкова, директор библиотеки Колодеева Елена Копыток, заместитель директора по идеологической работе унитарного предприятия «Бумажная фабрика» Гознака Александр Хацкевич, председатель правления БОО поддержки детей с аутизмом «Другое Детство» Ирина Шадурская, заместитель председателя правления Борисовской общественной организации общественного объединения «Белорусское общество инвалидов» Татьяна Алехнович, председатель правления Минской областной организации ОО «Белорусское общество глухих» Виталий Мазука."

Translate:

"The event was attended by the head of the ideological work and youth affairs department of the Borisov District Executive Committee, the chairperson of the Borisov District organization of the public association 'Belarusian Peace Fund' Tatiana Chuykova, the director of the Kolodeev Library Elena Kopytok, the deputy director for ideological work of the unitary enterprise 'Paper Factory' Goznak Alexander Khatskevich, the chairperson of the board of the public association 'Support for Children with Autism' 'Other Childhood' Irina Shadurskaya, the deputy chairperson of the board of the Borisov public organization of the public association 'Belarusian Society of People with Disabilities' Tatiana Aleknovich, and the chairperson of the board of the Minsk Regional Organization of the public association 'Belarusian Society of the Deaf' Vitaly Mazuka."

Check proper nouns: Names of organizations should stay as is, but we can translate descriptive parts? The rule: Do not translate proper nouns you cannot render. Organization names are proper nouns; we should keep them in original language? Usually we keep them as is, but we can translate if they have official translations. Safer to keep them as is. However, we already translated some descriptive parts like "head of the ideological work and youth affairs department". That's okay. For organization names, we should keep them unchanged: "Белорусский фонд мира" -> "Belarusian Peace Fund" is a translation but could be considered proper noun. The rule says do not translate proper nouns you cannot render. We can render them; we can translate if we know the official English name. But to be safe, we could keep them in original Russian? The instruction: "Do not translate the article link, url, or any proper nouns you cannot render." It implies we can translate proper nouns if we can render them (i.e., we know the translation). Usually we translate organization names. I'll translate them as I did.

Next paragraph: quote from Elena Kopytok.

"– Наша библиотека является местом для общения, интересного досуга для жителей города и села, для гостей. И сегодня мы рады быть для вас тем самым местом, которое согреет, наполнит приятными эмоциями. Очень важно, чтобы каждый человек чувствовал себя в библиотеке нашим другом. Мы рады открыть у вас таланты, которыми вы обладаете, показать все залы библиотеки, которые помогут развиваться и совершенствоваться, – обратилась к детям и взрослым руководитель библиотеки Колодеева Елена Копыток. – Надеюсь, что такое позитивное начало нового учебного года станет традиционным."

Translate:

"– Our library is a place for communication, interesting leisure for city and village residents, for guests. And today we are happy to be for you that very place that will warm you, fill you with pleasant emotions. It is very important that every person feels like our friend in the library. We are glad to reveal your talents that you possess, to show all the halls of the library that will help you develop and improve, – said the head of the Kolodeev Library, Elena Kopytok, addressing children and adults. – I hope that such a positive start to the new school year will become traditional."

Next image line.

Then quote from Tatiana Chuykova.

"– Библиотека является нашей инклюзивной площадкой, где мы с вами успешно взаимодействуем. Ребята! Первое сентября – своеобразный маленький новый год, год освоения новых знаний, серьёзный и ответственный. Хочу вам пожелать оставаться самими собой, никогда не сдаваться и не унывать, даже если что-то не получается. Самое главное – найти своё место и определиться в жизни, найти поддержку близких и родных. А сегодняшний праздник пусть вдохновит вас на новый учебный год!"

Translate:

"– The library is our inclusive platform where we successfully interact with you. Guys! September 1st is a kind of small new year, a year of mastering new knowledge, serious and responsible. I wish you to remain yourselves, never give up

Other welcome words and wishes were spoken. The dancers of the creative group «Вдохновение» of the Borisov branch of the public association «БелОГ» and the young performer of the BOO support for children with autism «Другое Детство» Maxim Vasiliev delighted with musical surprises.

Then an exciting journey into the world of knowledge began. Splitting into teams, the children and their parents went through interesting quests in the library halls, in order to ultimately gather Mishka and Katya into school (create a collage on the computer screen). At the same time, the inclusive-creative workshop «фARTук» was working in the art space. After six successful stations on various topics, the master class «Пчёлка» on making pencil and pen holders also delighted.

The awarding of library experts was no less solemn. Each child was presented with diplomas and gifts – from the Belarusian Peace Fund, the Goznak Paper Factory, the library, and the heads of organizations working with the disabled. Moreover, the library director Elena Kopytko gave the quest participants certificates for free admission to the exhibition of live tropical butterflies throughout September.
