Městská knihovna Boženy Němcové Domažlice - Pivovarská 10

Super library with a large selection.

Excellent library with a wide range of books

Library with a decent stock of books and very friendly staff

The library is very well stocked as far as the title is concerned - I must say that even in comparison with Prague it is better! Almost everywhere I find what I need, in Prague always have at least half of the half-empty, half empty shelves. I am excited about the domestic selection of personal development oriented titles. They have quite recently published books. Moreover, the atmosphere in the Domazlice library is always unique, pleasant, I feel welcome there, to which the librarians contribute a great deal. Any later return charges are wallet-friendly. I recommend this library!

On April 20, 1845, the 1st Slovanská lípa readers' association was established; in the first year, it had 62 books purchased from enrollment and weekly contributions by 3 tailors from each member. The beginnings of the library are connected with the name of Božena Němcová, who moved to the city in September 1845. She ordered books in Prague, organized meetings of women and girls, read Czech books, played theater, organized literary academies, concerts. After the suppression of the revolution of 1848, the activities of the association were stopped. The revival came after the fall of Bach's absolutism. In 1890, it was proposed to establish the city's public library, which was then inaugurated on February 3, 1895. After 1915, it was renamed Hus's Municipal Library. Since 1939, the library has been given use of a separate building next to the monastery, originally a church grammar school.
