Dolnośląska Biblioteka Publiczna im. Tadeusza Mikulskiego we Wrocławiu

The Dolnośląska Public Library is a major scholarly institution in Wrocław with multiple floors containing different reading rooms for various types of literature and research materials. The building organizes its collections by subject and language, allowing visitors to navigate toward specialized works according to their interests.

The institution was founded in 1945 as a municipal library and gained scientific library status in 1978. Its renaming after Tadeusz Mikulski in 2006 honored an important librarian and cultural advocate for the region.

The library houses specialized collections such as the German and American libraries, giving visitors access to international perspectives and literature. These sections reflect the cosmopolitan history of the region and invite exploration of works from different cultures.

The library opens Monday through Friday from 10:30 to 18:30, except Wednesday when it closes at 15:30, and Saturday from 10:30 to 15:30. The various departments are spread across multiple floors, so ask at the entrance which floor holds your area of interest.

The building manages a network of around 680 public libraries across the entire Lower Silesia region. Despite this large responsibility, the central location remains a quiet place for study and research with significant historical collections.
