Abstract
Professor Krešimir Filić (Bjelovar, 1891 – Varaždin, 1972) was an exceptional personality in the cultural life of Varaždin in the 20th century. His achievements and results have not been exceeded yet and everything he has created still exists, is being developed and enriched. Besides working as a teacher in Varaždin Grammar school for 25 years, where he has worked with many generations of committed students, he also held a series of methodical lectures aimed for the wider public in town and the country. He founded Varaždin city museum, Gallery of Old and Contemporary Masters, and incorporated the Entomological collection into the city museum.
Besides the above, prof. Filić was the chairman of the board of the National / Croatian reading room in Varaždin and long standing chairman of the board of Varaždin Public library which shows his commitment to book availability as the core cultural value of our town.
Because of all this prof. Filić has an exceptional historical merit when it comes to development and working of the National reading room and Varaždin Public library.
