Warsaw Public Library – Central Library of the Masovian Voivodeship, Public library on Koszykowa Street in Warsaw, Poland.

The Warsaw Public Library contains 1.5 million volumes across multiple reading rooms and study spaces in connected buildings on Koszykowa Street.

The library lost 300,000 books when Nazi German forces set it on fire in January 1945, with an additional 100,000 volumes taken during the war.

The library organizes reading clubs, literary discussions, and educational programs that connect residents with Polish literature and international publications.

The original building, designed by Jan Fryderyk Heurich and funded by the Kierbedź family, received extensive renovation work in 2015.
