Central Library named after A. I. Herzen, Federal cultural heritage library in Yekaterinburg, Russia.

The Central Library named after A. I. Herzen occupies the historic Davydov estate at Chapaeva Street 5 in central Yekaterinburg. Its three floors hold a subscription department and music scores on the ground floor, an art gallery, reading room and world culture room on the second, and a youth culture room on the third. The collection numbers 160,642 items, including a rare set of late 19th- and early 20th-century books from publishers such as Brockhaus and Efron and the Marx partnership.

The library opened on 26 February 1950 with two departments, a reading room and a lending desk, and a stock of about 30,000 volumes. It occupies the Davydov estate at Chapaeva Street 5, a mansion restored between 2001 and November 2007. In 1986-1990 it hosted discussion clubs led by G. E. Burbulis.

Locals call it "Gertsinka". Since 2008 it has hosted clubs such as "Bard-Kuchnya" and the new-music workshop "Avtograf", plus the Youth Intellectual Club of Yekaterinburg, which won an all-Russian youth projects competition in October 2008. An Information Cultural Centre "Japan" also operates here, and since September 2008 free computer courses for pensioners run under the name "I-Set".

Entry is free and visitors can access the collections and digital services through the library's website for remote research. If you need help navigating the building or finding specific materials, staff members are available to provide guidance.

The library holds a collection of books from the late 19th and early 20th centuries issued by major publishers of imperial Russia, including the Granat brothers, A. F. Marx, Prosveshchenie and Brockhaus and Efron. Since September 2008 it has also run free computer courses for pensioners called "I-Set: Friendly Internet for the Elderly".
