HISTORY |
The founding of the library is connected with the arrival of the
Jesuits in Zagreb. They established their residence there in
1606 and the first public grammar school in 1607.
From its very beginning the library had a dual function: to
modify its activities to the grammar school and to the Jesuits
residence. After 1612, when the residence was upgraded to a
college, the library was used by both the college and the
gymnasium.
After the dissolution of the Jesuit Order in 1773 the Library
became a part of Academy of Science, which was set up in 1776 as
a Faculty of Law, Philosophy and Theology. From 1816 the library
received a legal deposit of materials printed in University of
Budapest, and from 1837 it recieved a legal deposit of materials
printed in Croatia and Slavonia.
With the founding of Zagreb University in 1874 and the Academic
Library becoming its constituent part, it contributed to
the importance of the library as a scholary and national
institution. The old building was built in 1913. Since 1918
the library has been receiving a legal deposit of printed
materials from the whole of former Yugoslavia. After the
Second World War in 1945, it became the Central Library of the
Republic of Croatia. This function has underlined the national
character of the library.
After 1995, the library was moving to the new modern library
building. The new building of the National and University Library
is built on the plot of 3.75 hectares (with the possibility to
spread to the South), in the part of town which is influenced by
modern urban trends and develops into a representative centre of
the town of the 21st century. The building can be reached from
the park streching to the Aleja pomoraca and a number of
faculties.
Now, the building has an area of 36,500 square meters. It has ten
floors, six of them designed for users. New headquarters and the
application of new technology as well as the modern organization
of space will meet users' needs to a higher degree than before.
When the second phase of building the National and University
Library is completed, the library will have an area of 44,500
square meters, because halls and auditoriums will be added to the
already existing services. As a whole they will make a genuine
national and cultural centre. |
