Verejná knižnica Jána Bocatia, Public library in District of Košice I, Slovakia.
The Verejná knižnica Jána Bocatia occupies a historic school building in Košice and operates as the main library branch serving the community. The facility houses books, periodicals, and collections focused on regional topics and local authors.
The building was constructed in the 1890s as a school and served education for many years before becoming a library. Its conversion was part of a broader effort to make books and knowledge available to the public.
Named after a notable writer, the library draws people interested in regional history through its dedicated collections. It has become a place where visitors discover resources that tell the story of the local community.
The library is open on weekdays with varying hours throughout the week, so visitors should check specific times before going. A lunch break is observed each day, which affects access during midday hours.
The library's collection was not assembled all at once but grew carefully over generations of collecting. This gradual accumulation means it houses rare and historic materials that would be difficult to find elsewhere.
