[[Ivan Tavčar Public Library, Škofja Loka|Ivan Tavčar Public Library]] in [[Municipality of Škofja Loka|Škofja Loka]], named after writer and politician [[Ivan Tavčar]] (1851&ndash;1923), opened its doors to the public in December [[established::1945]]. Despite changing its name and location several times over the years, it has consistently functioned as a place where people can read newspapers and borrow books since 1862. 

The library runs five branches in Trata, Poljane, Gorenja vas, Žiri, and Železniki, a lending unit at the Centre for the Blind, Visually Impaired and Elderly in Škofja Loka, and a bookmobile. The chief aim of the library is to afford its members access to knowledge and information and to foster reading culture. It strives to achieve this also by hosting a number of events for young and adult library-goers, including art exhibitions, storytelling hours, lectures, book and author presentations, and creative workshops.
