The history of Maksa Samsa Library, Ilirska Bistrica goes back to 1950 when there were 11 small libraries in the Ilirska Bistrica region. In 1960 a single library was established with a view to rationalising library provision in the region. Today this library is housed in a 600 square-metre building and incorporates a reading room with 33 seats and a collection of some 48,380 units. It has 6,800 registered readers who borrow more than 100,300 items each year. The library incorporates a youth department with a collection of 16,300 items, a children’s corner which offers regular events, and a local information corner. It also manages a small lending room of 1,000 units at an old people's home in Ilirska Bistrica. The library organises occasional exhibitions and other events.
