Originally established in 1905 as the People’s Library, this institution was known from 1957 as the City Library before it acquired its current name, Beno Zupančič Library, in 1981. One of the region’s main cultural, educational and free time activity centres, it has branches in Pivka and Prestranek. The library has a collection of some 110,000 library units, 40 per cent of which are aimed at young people. Since 1979 the addition of a mobile library service has expanded access to people living in rural villages. Computerisation and development of the COBISS - Slovene Virtual Library system has kept the institution ahead since the 1990s, and in 2001 an Internet corner was established. Some 28 per cent of the municipal population have already enrolled in the library, which organises frequent literary evenings and book events. The library presents around 10 small exhibitions (thematic and fine arts) each year.
