National Library of Ukraine for Children, National children's library in Kyiv, Ukraine
The National Library of Ukraine for Children is a library in Kyiv serving young readers with extensive collections that include books, periodicals, and materials in various formats. The facility provides reading rooms, borrowing services, and access to digital resources through its catalog.
The institution began as a smaller library in 1967 and moved to its current building on Yanush Korchak Street in 1978. A major book collection added to its resources shortly afterward transformed it into a central facility for children.
The library holds publications in many languages, allowing young readers to explore different cultures and stories from around the world. Regular reading competitions bring together children from across the country to celebrate their love of literature.
The facility welcomes children from birth through age 18 and provides consultation services in addition to reading resources. Visitors can explore the building upon arrival to become familiar with its different areas and available resources.
The library received a major donation of books in the late 1970s that significantly strengthened its collections. This influx of literature allowed the institution to become one of the country's most important centers for children's reading materials.
