Abstract
The paper brings, in chronological order, short biographies of the directors of the National and University Library in Zagreb and its predecessor libraries. The introduction offers an overview of the former investigations and accumulated knowledge on the status and role of the previous managers of this central Croatian library, followed by short descriptions of their life and work in the Library. The aim of this paper is to contribute to its 400th anniversary by supplementing the more extensive published works on its collected book heritage, events, premises and services, from which we rarely learn much about the persons who gave the greatest contribution to its development.
