Lamezia Terme Town Library, Public library in Palazzo Nicotera-Severisio, Lamezia Terme, Italy.
Lamezia Terme Town Library occupies a historic palazzo and spreads its collection across three floors with distinct sections. It contains a media center, reading rooms, and specialized areas dedicated to different fields of knowledge.
It was founded in 1897 and integrated book collections from convents, establishing the foundation for its extensive historical holdings. This merger transformed it into a significant repository for local and religious manuscripts.
The library took its current name in 2015 to honor a local historian and maintains a collection of old books spanning several centuries. Walking through these sections, visitors can observe how books were made and bound in earlier times.
The library is open several days a week with designated reading areas for different purposes. Visitors should check the hours before arriving, as they vary throughout the week.
The collection includes thousands of printed books from the last four centuries produced by renowned European publishing houses. These rare volumes came from printers celebrated for their crafted and fine editions.
