Gorky Library in Volgograd

Gorky Library is a regional library in Volgograd spread across multiple floors with an extensive collection. The building houses reading rooms, specialized sections, and digital resources in a central location.

The library was founded around 1900 and suffered severe damage during World War II. After the collection was rebuilt, it moved to its current building in 1985.

Named after writer Maxim Gorky, the library reflects this connection to literature through its collection and programming. Exhibitions and reading events here bring the community together around books and storytelling.

The library provides access to reading rooms and digital resources for the public during operating hours. Visitors can expect extended opening hours and can receive assistance locating specialized materials on site.

After its destruction in 1942, libraries across Russia sent books to help rebuild the collection. This aid demonstrated national solidarity in protecting knowledge and literature.
