it's the library at the palace of culture "Energetic" (something like "Energy engineer" in English).
the closed book left from the red one - is written by V. Steklov, and it calls "V. I. Lenin".
as you may know, Chernobyls'ka NPP was carrying the name "Leninskaya" (Lenin's).
This shot was done the floor above from the place this shot was taken.
You can see the exterior of "Energetic" here, at the right corner.

I think this is an amazing piece of photography! I featured it here with link and credit.
I grew up near Three Mile Island in Harrisburg, PA, USA, and have always been fascinated with Chernobyl (probably because there was a "That could have been us!" fear). Between that and being a book collector, I love this photo. Besides Schindler's List, there is a great old Twilight Zone episode with Burgess Merideth called Time Enough At Last that this reminds me of. It's wonderful!
Hi, Let me introduce myself, my name is Miguel, I play guitar on a progressive metal band from Colombia named Altered Symmetry, we are about to release a record (fully independent) and we love this photo, we want to ask your permission to use it as our album cover art. Our concept for the album is about literature; our lyrics are about Chejov, Dickens, Akutagawa, and many others short tales. Please let us know what you think.

Great job! 
I find this photo amazing. The monochrome tone and highlighting one book symbolizes the destiny of one person among many others, a sad one.
Just one way to interpret this.
A friend of mine told me, that she saw almost the same setting of books in a memorial of a German concentration camp. In one room there were those books, in the next there were clothes, the next hairs and so on... Too sad to forget.
