Fundamental library of the Belarusian State University, Research library at Belarusian State University, Minsk, Belarus.

The Fundamental Library of Belarusian State University occupies a dedicated space in the university's main building, which it moved into in 1962. It holds about 2 million volumes and provides 778 reading seats across its reading rooms. The library also runs the "Libratoria" coworking area with more than 850 places.

The library began work with the university's founding: in April 1919 Yevgeniya Gurvich was appointed temporary academic librarian, and its first collection combined 40,000 volumes from the People's Commissariat of Education with 20,000 from the former Minsk Theological Seminary. From 1922 it also served as Belarus's state library and central bibliographic institution. In 1926 it was renamed the Belarusian State Library and removed from the university, taking about 270,000 items with it; the university then rebuilt its own library, which moved into the main building in 1962.

The library displays exhibitions focused on Belarusian literature and literary heritage throughout the year. Visitors notice how the spaces bring together students from Belarus and abroad, creating an environment where different perspectives meet.

The library occupies a dedicated building in the university's main campus on Independence Avenue, with 778 seats in its reading rooms and a co-working space called Libratoria holding over 850 places. It serves more than 27,000 users, so bring your own university or reader credentials for access to the licensed databases and the electronic catalogue.

The library maintains specialized archives holding rare manuscripts and historical documents from the region. These collections demonstrate how the institution has worked to preserve the region's academic and intellectual history.
