Минская областная библиотека имени А. С. Пушкина, Regional library in Minsk, Belarus.
The Minsk Regional Library named after A. S. Pushkin is a public library in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, housed in a modern multi-floor building. It offers several reading halls, specialized departments, computer workstations, and free internet access.
The library was founded in 1938 to serve readers across the Minsk region. Over the following decades its collection grew steadily, and the building was expanded after World War II to meet rising demand.
The library is named after Alexander Pushkin, the Russian poet whose works remain part of everyday school education across Belarus. It regularly hosts readings, exhibitions, and workshops that draw in a local crowd rather than tourists.
Opening hours vary by day of the week, so checking ahead before your visit saves time. Staff are available to help visitors find their way around the departments and collections.
The library holds a collection of regional publications and historical documents that focus specifically on the Minsk region and are hard to find elsewhere. Researchers and anyone curious about local history will find materials here that are not available in the same form at other public institutions in the city.
