"Metel Ožegović", Varaždin Public Library and Reading Room, from 1947 to 2007

Abstract
The research into the history of national reading rooms and libraries in Varaždin and its surroundings in the 19th and 20th centuries has shed some light on the circumstances of how they came into existence and how they worked. There is a range of articles on that topic which represent signifi cant contributions to the history of library science in Croatia. Still, a signifi cant and interesting topic on the formation and development of Varazdin public library after the 2nd world war to our time, has failed to catch the a ention of the researchers. According to my humble opinion, Varaždin Public Library has rapidly developed into a leading institution among national libraries during the course of the 1950s, not only in the north-west of Croatia, but also within the Republic of Croatia.
