Library "Laza Kostić", Public library in Čukarica district, Belgrade, Serbia.
Description
Library Laza Kostic is a public facility in Cukarica district in Belgrade that provides books and information services to residents. The building houses reading areas with seating, computer terminals, and free internet access for visitors.
History
The facility was founded in 1945 under a different name and was renamed in 1995 to honor Serbian poet Laza Kostic. Its roots trace back to a socialist reading room established much earlier in 1903 in a village setting.
Culture
The library serves as a gathering place for residents of all ages, who attend exhibitions, literary events, and educational classes throughout the year. These activities foster connections within the community and support learning for different groups.
Practical
The location is accessible by public transport and provides ample seating and computer access. Visitors should know that branch locations are scattered throughout the district, so another branch may have materials if the main site does not.
Did you know?
The institution traces back to a farmer named Rade Spasenovic who opened a reading room in his village in 1903. This unusual personal commitment to education from a private citizen reflects a remarkable beginning for a public library in the region.
