Libraries in West Pomerania: Książnica Pomorska in Szczecin, the Lelewel library in Koszalin and Książnica Stargardzka in a historic townhouse.
Three large libraries that, besides lending books, offer architecture, exhibitions and author meetings. Good for a quiet day, for rain and for people who work with books in reading rooms.
Książnica Pomorska im. Stanisława Staszica (Staszic Pomeranian Library) on ul. Podgórna is the region's largest library, with a history reaching back to 1905. It occupies two pre-war buildings joined by a connector and a modern building from the late 20th century. Inside are a reading room about Pomerania, special collections and online resources, so it is a good place for people interested in the history of the region.
Koszalińska Biblioteka Publiczna im. Joachima Lelewela (Joachim Lelewel Public Library in Koszalin) is the largest public library in Central Pomerania, working at Plac Polonii 1 in a building from 1973. It runs exhibitions and meetings with authors.
Książnica Stargardzka (Stargard Library) is housed in a townhouse at ul. Mieszka I 1, called the Rohleder House. Its oldest part dates from the 15th century, and the main building was added in the following century. The library runs meetings and exhibitions, and the building itself is listed as a monument. For further reading rooms of the region, see libraries in West Pomerania.
Rules of entry differ, so check them on the library's website. Exhibitions and author meetings are usually announced by the institutions themselves.
