WELCOME TO OUR LIBRARY
History of the library
The library tradition in Tetovo has deep roots in the history of these areas. The exact date of the library's founding is not well-known, but it is believed that 1945 is the year when the library began operating under the People's Education Commissariat. Initially, it was housed in a newly built house of the well-known Tetovo merchant Mato Simoski-Çenka.
