Kherson Public Library, Regional library in Kherson, Ukraine.
Kherson Public Library is a multi-story building in the city that houses reading rooms, study spaces, and collections of books in Ukrainian and other languages. The facility offers access to physical materials, digital resources, and work areas suited for individual learning and research.
The library was established as a center of scientific learning for the region and grew to serve as an important educational institution. In November 2023, an airstrike caused substantial damage to the building, affecting both its collections and physical structure.
The library serves as a gathering place where readers and learners from the region come together to access knowledge. Its sections for Ukrainian literature, international works, and children's books reflect the community's reading interests and educational needs.
The library offers free access to its book collections, digital materials, and study areas during regular opening hours throughout the week. Study spaces are organized to provide quiet areas for concentration and independent work.
Staff members continued their work during wartime, actively protecting collections and keeping services available despite the hardship. Their dedication reflects the community's commitment to preserving knowledge and learning through difficult circumstances.
