About the library
Before the war, the library was a modern space: 12 branches, a children’s and a central library, and more than 63,000 books. It was a living infrastructure of knowledge.
The library resumed its work thanks to the support of the community and the administration. Premises were provided in School No. 2. People brought books, and assistance came from across Ukraine and from abroad. The collection began to be restored almost from scratch. The Danish Refugee Council’s “Bibliohub” project was implemented, making it possible to create a modern space.
Today, the library is a point of support for the community — a space for recovery, knowledge, and communication.
The library’s story spans over a century — from a small reading room in 1898 to a modern community space. It survived destruction and was rebuilt thanks to the people who believe in the power of knowledge, culture, and memory.
